Assets from the session

This session looked into the decision-making process of prospective undergraduate students as they choose whether to stay at home or move away for university. Based on the latest market research by the insight team at The Student Room, this presentation will offer valuable data and insights into the factors influencing students' choices, the implications of these decisions, and the support they seek during this pivotal time. 

We recommend you watch the recording for the key findings of our research which covers topics including:

  1. Decision-making factors for both staying at home and moving away
  2. Accommodation preferences and challenges
  3. The planned commute and support required for those staying at home
