Call You and Yours: Why do people drop out of university?

Consumer phone-in. New research suggests a student's experience in the first month has a huge effect on whether they'll stay. What do you think? Winifred Robinson presents.

Today on Call You and Yours we're asking why so many people drop out of university.
Record numbers of students won university places this year but a number won't stay the course. Some will leave with no degree and big debts for fees and living costs.
Recent research suggests that first impressions are everything - a shabby environment with no one on hand to help sours the experience for some people from day one.
Why do you think people quit university and what can you do to choose college and the course that you'll enjoy? Are universities doing too little to keep students happy or do students expect too much?Email us now to come on the programme youandyours@bbc.co.uk. Or call us after 11 - on 03700 100 444.
