Session materials from "We are Not Alone: Student Housing Issues and Co-ops Around the World," which was led by Valentine About and Mathilde Rudloff (UTILE) at NASCO Institute 2014.

All over the world, the number of students keeps rising. Furthermore, this population is increasingly mobile and open to studying further away from home. This leads to a rise in student housing demands and the development of various models of housing. Most notably, many countries experience a boom in private for-profit student accommodation, while others favor a public or a co-op model. Exploring a few countries, we will draw a picture of different situations regarding these types of housing, the problems they bring and the solution that student cooperative housing represents.
