Students at Stirling University have led angry calls for the institution to reverse rent increases which they believe will hit some of the poorest attendees hardest.
The Solidarity Space society hosted a rally last week opposing changes to rent increases which they say are between seven and nine per cent - including rents which had been frozen in prior years to help students on lower incomes.
It believes the move means that rent costs in the cheapest accommodation for those on the lowest level of student loan could leave them facing what it describes as a “double digit budget” to live on per month.
