Abstract

Abstract The threads of business, charity and sentiment have always been tangled in the provision of student housing; although the mix of these has varied depending on whether the dominant provider has been the churches, the State or the market. This paper reviews some major studies of student housing; provides an introductory survey of its development and levels of current provision in Australia; reviews some of the supply and financing issues which student housing presently confronts; and conjectures on the evolution of government policy. The formative role student housing can play and the educational support it can provide may be important, especially in a period when higher education is becoming a narrower and more utilitarian experience, but not always a more satisfying one.
