Next year the university is putting on-campus rent up by 4% - meaning students living in halls could pay up to an extra £249 a year.

With cost of living going up and university spending going down, the message to you is clear: Pay more, get less.

That extra £249 might not sound like a lot of money, but look at it this way - it adds up to:

• 249 kilograms of pasta
• Return flights to Egypt
• 921 toilet rolls
• 148 packets of chicken super noodles
• 7,113 bin liners
• 249 cheeseburgers
• 148 VKs at The Sugarhouse
• 44 hours at work (for those on the 18-20 minimum wage)

We don’t think this is good enough, DO YOU? Join us in our campaign and sign this petition against these excessive rent increases.
