Students have had a bum deal recently. Forced to go to uni on Zoom during the pandemic, being accused of being woke all the time, and now they can barely afford their rent.

Research suggests that after they pay their rent, students are left with just 50p of their maintenance loan a week to live on. That means there’s barely enough for weed or OnlyFans. Since 2019, the student population has gone up by about 400,000. And in the same time period, the number of student properties has gone down by about 19,000.

Ed Campbell has gone to Leeds to meet the students at their flats and see what they're getting for their money.
