Hundreds of students at the University of Manchester are staging a rent strike amid claims they've been forced to use food banks and get full-time jobs to make ends meet.
The students are calling for the university to offer a 30 per cent cut on monthly payments, and refund some fees already paid to help with the affordability of rent for the rest of the year.
It comes as a survey by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) found that more than nine in ten students were either somewhat or very worried about the cost of living.
