In a statement posted to Facebook, Lancaster University’s SU Full Time Officer’s explained that SU Living’s decision to delay the release of 2021/22 contracts will “successfully reduce the stress on students by giving them more time to find the right housemates and still have safe, affordable accommodation options available to them later in the year.”
Rachel, a final year student said: “This decision honestly means so much to me, I had signed a housing contract with my first year flatmates before the end of first term in my first year. By time second year rolled around, we had started to have arguments and I had better friends elsewhere. This is seriously such a win for Lancaster students. It finally gives students a chance to settle into uni without the pressure of trying to find flatmates.”
