Makes people more employable.
It also has negatives if those extra hours of paid work on top of your academic work, either as a sick former or as a student,
are disrupting either your academic work or indeed your ability to do extracurricular activities.
I was also struck by the finding that people's concerns around the financial situation, the cost of living, might be corrupting.
And I use that word carefully, but I do use it, corrupting people's choices about what and where to study, because the way the UK system is meant to work is that everybody gets similar entitlement.
uh maintenance support, whether it comes from government or parents or whatever.
And that DAF frees them up to study anywhere in the country they would like to study.
And we've already seen in recent years, for example, in London, far more students choosing to live at home and go to their local university for financial reasons.
And I'm worried there's some data in the survey that suggests that that could be affecting more and more people.
And it's fine to live at home and go to your local university if that's where you want to do.
And if they've got a course you want to do, brilliant.
But if you're only doing it for financial reasons, or you're only doing it because your family is poorer than the next
store family whose children have more options, then I think that's a matter of concern.
Because what you choose and what you do at university can, not always, but it can affect the rest of your life.
Yes.
I mean, so so for example, some of the data in the applicant index show some trends returning to pre-pandemic levels, for example, around wellbeing.
And that's similar to the advanced HE uh HEPI student academic experience survey, where a lot of the numbers now are pretty much back to where they were pre pandemic.
And in some respects, that sounds really positive because the world before the pandemic was
better than the world during the pandemic.
So it's good that we're back there.
