Nationally, 43% of students at four-year universities experienced housing insecurity in 2020, up from 35% in 2019.
Nationally, rents have increased 17% since March 2020, said Chris Salviati, senior economist with Apartment List, but the increase has been higher in some popular college towns. Chapel Hill, North Carolina, saw a 24% jump in rents and Tempe, Arizona, saw a 31% hike.Last fall, the demand for on-campus housing was so high that the University of Tampa offered incoming freshmen a break on tuition if they deferred until fall 2022.
Even two-year community colleges, which have not traditionally provided dorms, are rethinking student needs as the cost of housing rises. They sleep in their cars and have access to bathrooms and showers, electrical outlets and internet while they work with counselors to find permanent housing. Uduak-Joe Ntuk, president of the college’s Board of Trustees, hesitated when asked if the program will be renewed.
UC Berkeley and other UC campuses are fighting homeowners who oppose campus expansion plans, even as the schools accept more students.
