The graph indicates how students’ choices about places to live changed over centuries, from 1960s to 2000s.
From a general consideration of the graph, it is evident that, while in 1960s there was not a great difference between the four types of accommodation, in 2000s the gap between them is much more marked. In particular, the number of students living in a shared house or in a flat with others has risen gradually since 1960s, until it reached a percentage of 70 in 2000s.
By contrast, the number of students who have chosen to be paying guests with a host family has decreased rapidly and has became the lowest percentage of the graph.
Moreover, the rate of students living in hall of residences has not always been steady: in 1960s, the percentage was around 15%, while in 1970s it rose a little and then fell back to 15% in 1980s; the same happened in 1990s and 2000s, when the number first increased and finally decreased.
As for students staying at home with their family, there was a drop between 1960s and 1970s, then a steady percentage of 5 in the following two decades and a consequent growth in 2000s.
Clearly, it is easy to have an idea about how students’ way of living changed over centuries by looking at the different types of accommodation they have chosen.
