For many Palestinian students currently stuck in Gaza, a place in a Scottish university is a lifeline.

A lot has changed since 2017. The lack of joined-up thinking towards where we build PBSAs and who they are for is tearing apart local communities.

When speaking to students, they often feel as though their PBSAs were not good value for money, proving that the only people benefiting here are those who are profiting.
