Universities across the UK are facing a severe housing shortage, with thousands of students unable to find affordable accommodation as the new academic year begins. Reports suggest that some students have been forced to stay in hotels or commute long distances due to rising rents.
The National Union of Students (NUS) has called for government intervention, while several universities are negotiating with local councils to secure temporary housing. Analysts warn that the crisis could impact international students, many from South Asia, who contribute significantly to the UK’s education economy.
