Great work by @Slurp_Edinburgh๐ฅค
This is proof that the continued building of PBSA is *not* meeting student needs, or answering community wants โ
Universities need to work with the Council to find a new approach to student housing which delivers for students & communities ๐ โ
Thanks to Callum Loudon from @STVNews for covering the results from our 2023/24 Student Housing Crisis, and highlighting the urgent need for an Emergency Housing Guarantee.
A group is calling for the introduction of an 'emergency housing guarantee' after a study found that one in six Edinburgh University students were unable to rent housing before the semester began.

One in six Edinburgh Uni students who tried to rent housing before term began weren't able to, study suggests (Excludes 1st years)
Research by student-led Slurp gives idea of scale of challenges faced - 25% of post-grads couldn't rent before semester 1!
