Accommodation Support during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Your accommodation is one of the most important aspects of your life as a student.

Why?

The Coronavirus pandemic has caused tough and unprecedented times for all of us. Alongside the rest of the country, student wellbeing and experience has negatively been impacted by this pandemic.

One of the many areas of student life which has been affected is accommodation with lockdowns and uncertainty meaning that a number of students were unable to make use of their term-time accommodation while being expected to carry on paying for it.

This has caused additional financial and mental health pressures on students in what has been a continued difficult time for them.
