Universities Stop Fleecing our children. Reduce Student Accommodation Costs

The accommodation charges levied by UK universities on students today are astronomical and out of balance with those charged by the private sector on tenants. Most universities charge thousands of pounds for a single room smaller than the average kitchen. In many cases a student’s accommodation charges exceed their maintenance loan and this is on top of the £9000 a year tuition fees. The price charged for student accommodation is putting an intolerable burden of worry and debt on the student and their families who have, in effect, already paid for the accommodation through their taxes. This is leading to many students being forced to remain at home and attend the local university or not attend university at all, to theirs, and the nations, detriment.
