nostr:npub1g0tuf634rz4suczwj7kgnecr6cyt0eu9xmp3sp0fku68mqehq4msp3tvm4 I think we need to get away from the paradigm that university students need to live away from home in often either piss-poor or expensive accommodation in 'university' towns.
Its expensive, who ever pays for it, and discourages poorer students. 
It also overwhelms the local rental market for residents. 
It might have made sense when only 7% went to university but not now when 50+% do.
Of course achieving it would have to mean levelling up our universities so local always meant good.
