Reay found working class children are more likely to go to a local university, even if it is known to not do well, possibly because they are unable to afford the costs of living in different accommodation, travel expenses on top of their tuition fees.
This may restrict them as to what courses are available at their local university, meaning they may not necessarily be reaching their full potential.
In the working class, 32% move away from home to go to university, whereas in the middle class, 70% move away from home, showing how many more working class children suffer educationally from their lack of money.
W/C tend to do a lot of working hours alongside their degrees.
