Anxious about student loans? Baffled about banks? Worried how university will affect your finances? Put your questions to our experts who will be online on 13 September from 12.30pm
Students starting at university this autumn are undoubtedly thanking their lucky stars: they have to pay £3,375 a year in tuition fees rather than the £9,000 bill that most people enrolling for the 2012/13 academic year will face.
But sorting out their finances will still be tricky, and most will end up owing tens of thousands of pounds by the end of their degree. Choosing the right bank account is vital. As is understanding what you are agreeing to when you sign a contract to rent a property.
Then there's learning how to budget, and working out which bills you need to prioritise. And what should you do if you are already up to your ears in debt?
Student loans can also prove problematic: in previous years many students have started term with no money to live on, so what can you do if your loan fails to materialise? What effect will the loans have on your later borrowing ability?
If you are a fresher, or a student returning for your second or final year, you can put your questions to our panel of experts. A representative from the National Association of Student Money Advisers, Nichola Malton from the Student Loans Company, and Andrew Hagger of product comparison website Moneynet will be online on Tuesday 13 September at 12.30pm to give advice and deal with your problems.
Please post your questions below.
