The Sutton Trust has published new polling commissioned for the BBC on the impact of the rising cost-of-living on university students.

The polling explores students’ experiences of undertaking paid work alongside their studies, including the impact on lecture attendance and meeting deadlines.

The Sutton Trust is calling for the government to urgently review the funding available to students for day to day living costs. In the medium term, the government should reinstate maintenance grants, at a level reflecting increased costs of living since they were abolished in 2015.
