STUDENTS in Glasgow are planning direct action this week in protest at the “horrific” housing crisis which has left many suffering stress and depression due to sleeping on friends’ sofas or paying “extortionate” rents.
They are calling for the University of Glasgow to take more responsibility for their plight, which they claim will only get worse if it is not urgently addressed.
A number of students are currently being housed by the university in hotels after a complaint was lodged on behalf of 70 students struggling to find suitable accommodation.
