Students, sustainability and their accommodation

Accommodation for Students announced the results of a major new research
study into students and sustainability in their accommodation.

The majority of students now consider sustainability issues as increasingly
important when making purchasing decisions and increasingly when choosing
accommodation.


83% of students believe environmental issues will become more important

The vast majority of students believe that environmental issues will become
increasingly important when making purchasing or accommodation related
decisions in the future. The students that responded to the survey were
also more likely to choose sustainable accommodation, if all other factors
were equal – almost 90% of the respondents were of this opinion.

The AFS team presented the findings of the survey and details of a new
campaign to support landlords, agents and halls in encouraging more
sustainable behaviour at a live webinar on the 23rd of
September.
