Solidarity with Stirling University students! They are facing similar rent increases of up to 9% 🤯. Shocking disregard for student welfare during a severe cost-of-living.
You have our support and solidarity every step of your fight ✊
Yesterday at 2:30pm we handed in the petition opposing @StirUni’s decision of a 9% accommodation rent increase. This 9% increase will guarantee student poverty and all 730 signatories, which include some MSPs demand this be overturned! Listen to us!

If you support our actions, sign our petition!
After 24 hours of camping in the quad, we are cold and tired, but we know the fight isn't over till the University reverse the rent increase.
We've occupied the Quad at @univofstandrews for 24 hours in protest to the lack of action on the housing crisis. St Andrews is No. 1 in the UK, but for who?
No more students facing homelessness! Affordable housing for all! ⬇️ #StopTheRentIncrease#RemoveTheBan
Students at St Andrews are facing some of the highest accommodation costs in the UK.
Despite this, @univofstandrews have committed to an 8% increase for halls of residence during the most severe cost-of-living crisis in a generation ⬇️
So what can we do about it? We're fighting back and are staging a protest in opposition to the increase this Saturday (April 22) at 1PM.
We meet at College Gate. Stand opposed to the increase and in solidarity with fellow students.

@ucustandrews@CASHStAndrews In a place like St Andrews, one of the university's key priorities should be to make sure that every student can afford to live close enough to the university. Anything less than this undermines the whole point of the unique St Andrews experience
F*CK the rent increase! It will have a devastating impact on the poorest students.
A £40 pay increase for our Principal, an 8.3% hike in rent for students and we're told you can't afford to pay your staff?
Let us know how the rent hike will impact you: https://t.co/vAjtV3Lbkg
We're protesting outside The Scottish Parliament today to fight against cuts to the student budget.
A 3.5% increase in student funding when rents have increased 34% in 3 years? We won't stand for it.
Affordable rent for all! Solidarity with all striking workers today ✊
