Iris Duane: “A lot has changed since 2017. The lack of joined-up thinking towards where we build PBSAs and who they are for is…”

I would question the relevant Scottish Government ministers at the first opportunity.

International student numbers are continuing to fall. It is hard to see the justification for continuing to build more and more PBSAs when existing ones are not at capacity.

I would push to ensure that we are looking at the bigger picture and support residents to live in good, collegiate communities together.

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.
