The graph illustrates the trends in students’ accommodation preferences over a span of five decades.

Meanwhile, the figures for students living in university halls of residence and those staying with their own families fluctuated throughout the period.
Observation the graph reveals opposite trends for shared housing and homestay arrangements. In the 1960s, both categories accounted for an equal share, but by the end of the 2000s, the share of students living in shared accommodation had surged to 70%, making it the most preferred option. In contrast, the proportion of those living with host families dropped sharply, ending at 30%.
