Recruitment agents have a huge influence on where international students choose to live. They can be key advocates for accommodation providers, recommending properties and helping students find the right fit. But let’s not forget—they can also guide students toward the competition. So, how do we collaborate and engage with them to stay top of mind? This is one of the key topics we’ll be exploring in our upcoming webinar: 'What influences the choices international students make?' Join us on Tuesday, November 19 at 12pm.

By coming together as a sector, we shared insights, best practices, and lessons learned, all aimed at making accommodation more inclusive and accessible for all students. 📺 Missed the webinar?
