Cost of Living Report

In the 2022/2023 Academic Year, Arts SU researched how students are impacted by the Cost of Living crisis, lead by our Senior Policy and Research Officer

The survey was composed as a series of Likert-style questions, rank choice questions, and open text comments. It asked students about their experiences of the rising cost of living, as well as collecting demographic data.
