With a new academic year just weeks away, we’re looking at the class of 2025 – and the factors that influence their wellbeing.

Our expert panel discusses how key factors like part-time work, sense of community, loneliness and settling into a new city can impact student wellbeing, and what universities and accommodation providers can do to help new students settle into their new city.
