and &#8220;insane&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I have a part-time job as everything is so expensive, and then commuting is going to kill a lot of my free time as well,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;It is a bit sad really when you think about it.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But she is pleased that staying at home means she will still be able to have her mum and dad&#8217;s cooked dinners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Earlier this year, BBC News followed the daily journey of one first-year student who said she was saving over \u00a37,000 on accommodation by commuting 90 minutes into Manchester each day from home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The figures were recorded on results day and are expected to rise over the coming month as more students accept university places through clearing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">A record number of UK 18-year-olds have been accepted into university this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But student rents have risen sharply in recent years, alongside other living costs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The Higher Education Policy Institute (Hepi) said last year that students needed \u00a361,000 over the course of a three-year degree in order to have a &#8220;minimum socially acceptable standard of living&#8221; &#8211; and that&#8217;s excluding tuition fees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Its report found that in 2024 the cost of renting in university-owned accommodation ranged from \u00a3108 per week, for 40 to 44-week contracts in Northern Ireland, to \u00a3338 a week for the shortest contracts in London, where rent makes up nearly half (46%) of students&#8217; costs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In most areas it was between \u00a3140 and \u00a3180 a week, with private halls usually being more expensive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Many students are eligible for a maintenance loan, which can help with the cost of accommodation, but the average annual price of a room on campus is increasing much faster, according to some student unions. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Hepi says most young full-time students now work in paid employment during term time to make up the difference between their maintenance loan income and the cost of living.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
