Methods the college should use to help students find suitable accommodation

Unfortunately, it has become increasingly common to witness college students


not being able to find accommodation that meets their needs. Most of the
available options are either prohibitively expensive or their use is restricted to
a specific period of time. There is a number of practical steps that the college
can take to tackle this problem but the following two will probably be the most
effective.
By virtue of the constantly rising education fees and the costly way of life in our
city, a multitude of students struggle to find appropriate accommodation.
Therefore, one possible approach that the college can take to grapple with this
issue is to allocate part of its budget to decreasing the size of the rent of its
halls of residence. In this way, not only will the college attract more students
who are in a financial predicament, but it would also benefit the ones that
already pay a great deal to study and reside here.
During a recent gathering of the student body, tremendous disapproval was
expressed regarding the fact that the halls of residence in the college are only
accessible to students during the two semesters. However, it comes as no
surprise that some students either do not have anywhere else to stay during
the summer holidays or they are not willing to return to their home country. It
is consequently advisable that the college gives the students the chance to use
their accommodation throughout the whole year.
Although both of the suggested methods would prove beneficial, the one
which would conceivably have an immediate and lasting impact on the quality
of the students’ lives is lowering the prices of the rent.
