It’s July and we’re hearing from university colleagues that, in one particularly desperate case, students have taken to sleeping in the 24 hour library – because it’s warm and there’s access to subsidised food downstairs.
So we find ourselves asking – what’s the situation going to be in 5 months’ time when the temperature is 2 degrees rather than 20?
And as universities across the country gear up to stock on campus food banks we can’t help but ask – why aren’t we talking more about the impact the cost of living crisis is having on students?
