Is going to university worth the money, asks Nick Newton

After being ranked in the Top 20 universities for employment for graduates in the country by The Sunday Times’ Good University Guide, London South Bank University (LSBU) is doing something right.

Times journalist Alastair McCall described LSBU as having: “an outstanding record for graduate employment”.

Third year student Sam Dogs said: “It’s encouraging, considering how much money we are spending.”

However a member of the student job centre at the university, Kelshia Roy-Johnson said: “We need to get higher.”

Going to university is one of the toughest decision any person will ever make. With the debt that they will get into it is encouraging to know that LSBU is working hard towards setting students up for employment, as well as top grades.
