(asked on 4th December 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether his Department has made an estimate of the number of first-year undergraduates who do not live in accommodation sponsored by their university.
The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) collects and publishes data about higher education (HE) in the UK.
Information on the term-time accommodation arrangements of entrants to full-time undergraduate study at UK HE institutions in the academic year 2016/17 has been provided in the table, and shows that 60% of entrants lived in accommodation other than provider-maintained properties. Provider-maintained property refers to residences owned by the institution returning data.
