“The student lifestyle is multi-faceted, and accommodation should offer all the facilities that students need in what is, for many, their first experience of living away from home,” says Craig McMurray, CEO of Respublica.
“A student’s living environment plays an equally large role in the success of their tertiary education as their learning environment does. This is where they learn to take responsibility for themselves by learning to manage their time, their relationships, and their commitment to their studies without the supervision of their parents.”
Choosing accommodation is about so much more than finding the cheapest possible spot within striking distance of the student’s lectures. Respublica offers some tips to make it easier to identify the best location.
“Keeping this checklist close while you’re shopping around for accommodation will mean that your child will be living in a safe, secure and nurturing environment that will make it easier for them to achieve the most out of student life,” says McMurray.
