Abstract

Participation in further and higher education has been strong over the review period, but has fallen back since 2004. This trend has been linked to rising concerns about the cost of tuition fees and the threat of spiralling debt.

Tuition fees alone are leaving a £9,000 hole in the graduate pocket, while the added costs of living are estimated to have reached in excess of £2,200 for each year of study.

Consequently there has been a rise in the number of students who are choosing to study at University whilst living in the parental home. The motive behind this growing trend is to keep debts down, by saving on rent and living costs, however the implications for student leisure remains to be seen.
