As this year’s new intake of students begin university life, we asked speakers at the FT’s Weekend Festival — authors, comedians, academics and FT columnists — to tell us what they wish they had known when they were 18, and for their tips on getting the most out of university.This is an edited version of our interviews — listen to a full audio podcast of what our experts said here. What do you think is the best advice for an 18 year old? Share your thoughts in the comments field below.
