Curtin Students Struggle for Shelter | Sydney News

Published 1 week, 5 days ago
Description

Students at Curtin University’s Kalgoorlie campus are facing a housing crisis, with hundreds forced to couch-surf, sleep in cars, or camp in tents just to stay in school. One master’s student from India has moved five times in a year alone. Only 32% of students have access to university-provided housing, leaving international and postgraduate students especially vulnerable. Despite a 32 million dollar housing upgrade in 2017, demand far outpaces supply — and the local rental market is equally tight. Curtin acknowledges the problem and is working on long-term solutions, offering support and financial aid to those struggling.
