New to data analysis? 📈 Let's take a look at this national pricing graph from our Insights Tool... 💡 The change in a single line demonstrates how dynamic pricing has been within a specific cycle. For example, if a line is quite straight, there has not been large variations in pricing. 💡 The gap between two lines shows how aggressive year-on-year price changes have been. The larger the gap, the more aggressive the change. 💡 In combination, they tell a story about how stable a market is, be that macro or micro.

Did you know... 🤔 💡 International and domestic students frequently talk about the same things in reviews. 💡 However, international students report higher overall satisfaction compared to domestic students. 💡 Satisfaction with premium accommodation is declining compared with cheaper stock, likely driven by the rising cost of living. 💡 Limited availability in some locations is also driving international students to opt for more affordable options, such as cluster en-suites, which are increasingly similar to studios in popularity.

Why PBSA operators should engage with students before the UCAS deadline... We all know the impact university recruitment has on filling PBSA beds, but PBSA offerings also affect where students choose to study. 67% of students* told us that accommodation cost was having a direct impact on their choice of university, while 59% reported that the shortage of accommodation was affecting their decision.

To engage with them, you can enhance your profile on StudentCrowd.com - the place students go to make decisions.
