I was not really asking about it in that context; I just meant in general. I take the point in respect of specific student accommodation and that is fine. Having to pay €12,000 in rent is crazy stuff, however. I am aware there have been funding increases and so on.

At the same time, I have visited different student accommodations that are extremely high end. There can be a balance. Colleges, at the end of the day, have to operate a for-profit model to deal with the funding gap. It is interesting.
