What has university done for you? Callers tell their stories.

Why white, working-class men are still least likely to attend university, and the random act of kindness helping one mum at Christmas.

A record-breaking 530,000 students started at university this autumn.  But within that, there are some notable patterns emerging.  Women are far more likely to be going to university than men.  And while more disadvantaged people are going to university than ever before, white working class men are still least likely to attend.  We find out why that might be, and speak to callers about how they gained their education. Also today, the random act of kindness that has helped one mum at christmas. And as some brands of nurofen fall foul of Australian advertising rules, we look at whats in our most popular painkillers.
