Destiny has been stuck in temporary accommodation after her student block was not completed on timeShe is one of about 250 students at the University of Portsmouth left in the lurch when their accommodation was not finished in time for the new term.
Anyone going through university towns and cities will have seen new blocks of student flats mushrooming skywards.Bilgesu says she is having to stay in a hotel room away from students and without access to wi-fi He also wants better consumer protection for students signing housing contracts, arguing that some"arrangements are incredibly one-sided".This autumn there have been reports of unfinished flats in locations from Portsmouth to Swansea, Lincoln to Liverpool. In Bristol, delays have meant students being put up temporarily in Wales.
But universities minister Chris Skidmore said universities were autonomous and that"government plays no direct role in the provision of student residential accommodation".In Portsmouth, Bilgesu is another student unable to move into the new Stanhope House student building. He says he was even more taken aback when"on the day they told people they can't move in, they were asking for money from them".
Has happened in Lincoln as well. Unfortunately it will be more than a few weeks as firm has now gone into administration.
New halls of residence not finished so they're put up in hotels for a few weeks. So someone at the BBC went to Portsmouth University I presume? Or one of these students a relative? It's the only explanations I can think of for such an obscure story being tweeted as UK news.
the builders stole my education
