Accommodation Crisis in Aberystwyth
This isn’t new, Aberystwyth University and the town has been struggling to cope with the increased intake of students each year. Back in 2008, students were put up in hotels and nearby caravans until they could find somewhere long-term to live.
Now in 2011, we’re back to square one. Perhaps in an even worse situation as, the University even tried to deter students until next year.
The solution? – Bunk beds!
In some ways you must admire them, a quick thinking approach but, at what cost to student living? The university has prided itself on a good reputation but I can’t help but think student satisfaction for this academic year will be dented.
As much as I miss the student lifestyle and studying at Aberystwyth University. I can’t help but think I have had a lucky escape in the bunk bed jungle. If this is something that will continue then I’d like to think that new social venues will be in place as students avoid their rooms.
