Derry: Student expansion ‘will be transformative’ for north west

Student Jessica Skelly, who is originally from Bangor, County Down, said it would be harder for students to find accommodation if student places go up without an increase in the number of student houses.

“Last year, I lived in Duncreggan Student Village so getting accommodation there was easy enough,” she said.

“Coming into second year, trying to find a house was a challenge”.

“Houses go so quickly and there are only so many student houses that are affordable.

“There is pressure – you have to get looking early, or you’re not going to get one.

“If they do want to have up to 10,000 people here [at the university] I don’t know where they are going to have to live.
