PANEL DISCUSSION

IMBALANCE IN STUDENT
HOUSING SUPPLY AND
DEMAND

The panel discussed the rising rents due to supply-demand imbalances in student housing and its effects on student choices and university finances. They highlighted the importance of international students, and the impact of policies like London’s H15 on developers.

The discussion also included the growth of student accommodation, challenges of rising debt, and the need for affordable housing. Emphasizing the educational impact of housing disparities, the panel called for maintenance loan system reforms and a multifaceted approach involving innovative solutions, stronger public-private partnerships, and policy overhauls, stressing the need to adapt to the evolving needs of future students.
