During the 1980s, a significant shift occurs with "At home with own family" plummeting to 48%, "Students hall of residence" increases to 26%, while "Paying guest with a host family" decreases slightly to 7%, and "Room in a shared house or flat with other students" surges to nearly 19%. In the 1990s, "At home with own family" continues to decrease to 43%, "Students hall of residence" sees a slight drop to 24%, "Paying guest with a host family" remains stable at 7%, and "Room in a shared house or flat with other students" increases to approximately 26%. In the 2000s, "At home with own family" slightly rises around 45%, "Students hall of residence" increases to 27%, "Paying guest with a host family" again remains stable at 7%, and "Room in a shared house or flat with other students" sees a small increase to just above 26%.

The bar chart gives information about how many students lived in four different kinds of accommodation over a 50-year period lasting from the 1960s to 2000s
Overall, it is clear that the proportion of students sharing a home with their peers and living with a host family saw continuous upward and downward trends respectively while the fluctuations could be seen in the remaining categories. This ultimately widened the gap between the percentages of students choosing shared houses and the rest.
To begin with, sharing a home with others and living in a host family’s house accounted for 35% of students each, whereas the other types of housing were home to 15% each in the 1960s. In the 1980s, the first mentioned category increased significantly to 60% but playing guests with a host family became less popular with a sharp decrease of 15%. However, in terms of popularity, it still played a second place as being accommodated by their schools and own families were the choices of only 15% and 5% of total students respectively.
From the 1980s and 2000s, the proportion of students who lived with their peers continued the rise and reached a peak of 70%. At the same time, the figure for being housed by a host family saw another decrease to 5% and became the least popular choice of student housing. Simultaneously, the number of students choosing dormitories decreased slightly by approximately 3% after having risen by 5%. Finally, the number of students housed by their own families stagnated at 5% until a growth to relatively 12%, the same as that of the hall of residence, in the 2000s.
