Rejected petition To lower university accommodation prices

Lower accommodation prices to a reasonable number which doesn't leave students in crippling debt for years after they've left university.

More details

University accommodation generally provides the bare minimum with small living spaces but costs much more than what it is worth. We have debated this issue in our year 11 citizenship lesson and we agree that this is a national issue.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about the cost of university accommodation are a matter for individual universities and private providers of accommodation, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
