More about the Student Accommodation: expectations, preferences and hopes for university accommodation project
University Futures Student Accommodation is a collaborative research project conducted in 2019 by Alterline on behalf of 13 university accommodation providers in the United Kingdom.

Report contents include:
- How decisions are made about accommodation and how this links with university choice
- Young people’s expectations, needs, and priorities when it comes to their student accommodation
- Where young people look for information and what information they need
- What prospective students think about the cost of accommodation and their own budgets
- What fears, concerns and worries young people have about student accommodation
- What demographic factors influence the way young people think about their student accommodation
