Eva Tabbasam just completed her masters at the the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). We talk about the  box ticking phenomenon in applying for scholarships, i.e. the pressure to have to pick apart and lay bare certain aspects of one’s life in order to get opportunities. We also consider how issues such as class can affects one’s experience of higher education.
