A recent college leaver has discussed their concerns at the lack of attainable university opportunities in light of the cost of living crisis. Micheal Phillips, 20, explained: "For most, even moving from their family home can be a risky gamble, not just about future money trouble but future physical and mental health risks." "Many low-income university students eat cheap and instant foods for long periods of time while studying or working." "This more often than not doesn't promote a (sic) healthy habits or mindset." He continued: "With the current state of inflation and the cost of living rising for the average person, it seems like a gamble to whether or not they will be able to make a comfortable living even after they [university graduates] get the job they're working towards." Micheal is hoping to find an apprenticeship but says they are currently difficult to acquire.
