A third of students starting courses at the University of Gloucestershire are living at home rather than moving into student accommodation, the university has said.
The trend reflects a wider pattern among new students weighing the costs and practicalities of relocating for university against staying in familiar surroundings.
For at least one student, the decision to stay local came down to not feeling ready to move away, according to the university's account of student experiences.
Universities across the country have been tracking similar shifts in student living arrangements, as many balance financial considerations with personal readiness when starting higher education.
