Mr. Paul Hannigan:

I can support that from personal experience. My son went to Queen's University. He got an offer of his course on a Monday and straight afterwards - the next day - he got an offer of accommodation. That is a completely different experience from coming to study in the South. It has become a trend, a slow burn in terms of people looking at the availability of accommodation and also balancing the cost of the accommodation in the North versus the costs in the South. While there are slightly higher fees in the North, it balances out really quickly in terms of the overall accommodation costs.
