University Halls from Hell: Students Face Infestations and Structural Damage

Students across the UK are facing unacceptable living conditions in university halls. ITV News has spoken to several students who have endured infestations, damp, and even structural damage to their accommodation. One student described washing cockroach feces from their dishes "every single day." Another student reported a constant flow of water leaking from a ceiling light, forcing them to shower from a bucket for a month. A recent study reinforces these experiences, revealing that almost 70% of students have faced at least one issue with their student housing. The lack of adequate response from housing authorities is a major concern for students. These issues highlight the urgent need for improved standards and better support for students.
