Student housing as a learning experience
2018
This paper is an initial exploration of the significance of students’
accommodation as spaces for learning. In interviews, students of
Geography and Planning discuss the spatiality of studying, and
how their student housing features in this. The diversity of student
living and studying emerges clearly. Yet there are some commonalities,
notably the significance of the materiality of accommodation
as a factor that shapes and is in turn shaped by students’
agency. Their accounts underline the ways they seek to shape key
aspects of their lives, and the reflective, learning, approach many
take to this task. The paper concludes by drawing out implications
for university tutors and lecturers. It also suggests avenues for
further research.
