More than half of students have been forced to use a food bank during their studies as the impact of the cost of living crisis continues to hit.
Research conducted by pollsters Censuswide on behalf of gift card firm Love2shop found that 55% of students have had to use a food bank due to the rising prices of food, while 68% know someone who has had to drop out due to the rising cost of living.
The survey - which quizzed 2,000 students around the UK - also found that a staggering 87%, which would equate to just under 2.5 million students, have skipped meals to save on food costs.
