The headline isn’t an idle boast from studenthalls.co.uk but is the result of research from the Higher Education Statistics Agency. Their report underlines the trend towards choosing student halls of residence which means that fewer students are willing to share a ‘traditional’ student home.

A new report has highlighted a growing trend for students to remain in their private halls of residence – or opt for similar properties – once they have graduated. Student property investment specialists the Mistoria Group says there is a definite trend of young professionals opting to live in purpose-built student accommodation blocks, particularly in the north-west and London.
