The graph below shows the percentage change in places where students lived over five decades
The graph gives information about student accommodation from the 1960s to the 2000s. It shows the percentage of students who stayed in the different types of student accommodation during this time period. In the 1960s, most students lived in a shared house or flat with other students or were paying guests with a host family. 35 percent of students lived in each of these places. A smaller percentage either lived in a student hall of residence or stayed at home with their family. By the 2000s, however, these figures had seen significant changes. The number of students living in shared accommodation had risen by twice as much, to 70 percent, while those living with a host family had fallen to just 5 percent. Figures for students living in a hall of residence and with their own family had also seen changes, but these were less marked. A more detailed look at the graph reveals that overall changes were not always steady. While the number of students living in shared accommodation rose each decade, the change was most noticeable in the 1980s, when the figure rose sharply from 40 precent to percent. This significantly widened the gap between the other types of accommodation. The number of students staying with their own family declined steadily, then stagnated in the 1980s and 1990s, before rising again in the 2000s. Meanwhile, the number of students staying in halls of residence fluctuated, with student numbers rising and falling twice during this time period. Clearly there were changes in the types of accommodation that students opted for between the 1960s and the 2000s, but the large increase in the number of students living in shared accommodation with other students has been particularly noticeable.
