Grad crisis? | Talent pool in limbo as cost-of-living puts elite students on brink of dropping out

New research from the Russell Group Students’ Unions – an institution which represents some of the UK’s elite universities – has revealed the negative pressures of the cost-of-living crisis on students at some of the UK’s best universities.

The study, which is the most extensive of its kind, shows that one-in-five students are considering dropping out of education because of economic pressures, as students live on average just £2 over the poverty line.
