Studying at top university Queens in Belfast could leave you £10,000 richer than if you had studied at one of London’s top institutions, say experts.

“With the rising costs of studying for a degree, gone are the days when students can spend, spend, spend and worry about paying back their debts at a later date.  With the average graduate debt now over £20,000, making an informed decision about where to study, which includes considering the cost of living, could avoid the prospect of graduating with the heavy burden of massive debts that could take up to 10 years to pay off,” said Matt Hutchinson, director of Spareroom.co.uk.
