Up to a third of school-leavers in England are considering living at home if they get into their preferred university following next week’s exam results, according to a study.
The Sutton Trust, which published the report analysing data tracking more than 11,000 young people in England who took A-level exams and other qualifications this summer, said it was concerning that the cost of education and living were affecting young people’s life choices.
The findings show that 20 per cent of the “Class of 2023” plan to live at home during term time if they get into their preferred university, while a further 14 per cent have not yet decided if they’ll move to their university.
Experts have termed this year’s cohort the “unluckiest generation of all” as they are facing both a return to pre-pandemic grading and a cost-of-living crisis.
