Global Student Living

Unite Group, the UK’s largest student accommodation provider, reduced rents by 0.3% for the current academic year, the first decline in over 25 years outside the Covid-19 lockdown, driven by falling international student numbers and more domestic students living at home.

Ontario is investing $138 million in Trent University to expand student housing and enrolment capacity, including $100 million for two new residences with 1,400 beds and 134,000 square feet of academic space, and $38 million to add 1,504 new university seats focused on STEM, education, health, and labour-market-driven programs.
