Why is there so much student accommodation?
Rapid growth of purpose-built student accommodation can be seen across Scotland's cities, but as thousands of new student rooms are built students say affordable housing is becoming harder to find.
Student accommodation seems to be everywhere. Across Edinburgh and Glasgow, new tower blocks and purpose-built student developments are transforming city skylines. Yet despite the growth in supply, students still report difficulties finding affordable places to live.
In this documentary, Thea Kellock investigates why so much student accommodation is being built and what it means for those looking for somewhere to live.
Meeting students affected by rising housing costs, speaking to international applicants navigating the rental market from overseas, and hearing from researchers, developers and industry experts, she explores the economics behind Scotland's student housing boom.
