LOS ANGELES: Single beds, cramped rooms, shared kitchen and bathrooms, mould and leaks are the stereotypical student pads of old. It was, as they say, the ‘norm’. But has this all changed?
A growing demand for luxury student accommodation has emerged. It is being driven by the need to draw a multigenerational constituency.
A survey showed 83 per cent said that fast internet was the most important aspect, 74 per cent said inclusive bills are something they specifically look for when choosing their accommodation, 61 per cent need a double bed in their room, 59 per cent need their property to offer big, functional communal rooms, 55 per cent are looking for a property in a top location, and 31 per cent want good transportation links.
