For many young people, the decision to go to university – and whether to move away from home to do it – has never felt more fraught. As ever, the reality is more nuanced than the headlines suggest. Here’s what the data shows.

A year ago, we set out on a bold mission: to transform how we understand, support, and serve the students who live with us. That mission became ResX360, a customer relationship management system which allows us to better support residents. It’s designed to connect people, systems, and data in a way that enhances every stage of our residents’ journey. 

On Thursday 4 September, we hosted a session on values-led partnerships at Universities UK's Annual Members Conference. Jenny Shaw, HE External Engagement Director, shares how themes of innovation and collaboration were not only key to our panel - but to the whole conference.

The Applicant Index 2025, now in its fourth year, is our annual research into each year’s university applicants – helping universities track how applicant needs are evolving over time.

Run by our Resident Ambassadors, our student events programme has never been more popular with our residents. We look at what events are most popular and why it matters.

In an competitive student market, understanding student satisfaction in accommodation has never been more important. Our April podcast episode gets into it.
