Do students lose out by staying at home for university? Pakistani and Bangladeshi Brits are more likely to live at home while studying.

Do you lose out by staying at home for university? Pakistani and Bangladeshi Brits are over six times more likely to live at home while at university compared with white students, according to The Sutton Trust. Plus, the UK's outgoing head of counter-terrorism Mark Rowley comes into the studio to talk about the growing threat from the far-right in the UK, and answers some of your questions. We also discuss concerns from the Children's Commissioner for England about safeguarding issues at a growing number of unregistered schools, including teachers hitting pupils. Dr Farid Panjwani from the Centre for Research and Evaluation in Muslim Education and Jay Harman from Humanists UK discuss why parents are sending children to these schools. And we discuss the fallout after LGBT rights charity Stonewall pulled out of this year's Pride celebration. It says the event lacks diversity. We get Pride's response to the criticism from its director of communications Asad Dhunna. We also hear from life coach and gay activist Harry Qasimali. After this we speak to engineer Roma Agrawal who worked on the Shard in London. She's just released a new book called "Built: The Hidden Stories About Our Structures" and tells Qasa why more Asian women should get into engineering.
