According to the UNEF union, the cost of student living has increased by 6.47% in one year

The Unef union recently announced that the cost of student living has seen a significant increase of 6.47% over a period of one year. This information is concerning for many students who are already struggling financially.

According to Unef, this increase is mainly due to housing costs, which increased by 7.79%. As rents get higher and higher, students struggle to find affordable accommodation near where they study. This situation has a direct impact on their already tight budget.

In addition, food-related expenses also increased, with an increase of 3.52% in one year. Students are therefore faced with a double challenge: finding healthy and balanced meals while respecting their budgetary constraints.

The cost of transport is also a major problem for students. Travel costs have increased by 4.62% in one year, which makes it difficult for many students to travel to their classes or internships. Some then have to look for cheaper alternatives, such as carpooling or cycling, but this can also represent an additional challenge in terms of organization and time.

In addition, education-related costs also increased by 3.8% in one year. This increase can be attributed in particular to expenses related to textbooks, stationery and tuition fees.

Faced with these increases, many students find themselves in a difficult financial situation. Some are forced to work part-time to support themselves, which can also have a negative impact on their academic performance. Others are forced to take out student loans, which can lead to significant debt to pay off after graduation.

It is therefore more necessary than ever to put in place measures to support students financially and enable them to continue their studies under acceptable conditions. This could include increased scholarships, the creation of affordable student housing, and the establishment of specific transport fares for students.

In conclusion, the cost of student living has increased significantly over the past year, which has a direct impact on the financial situation of students. Measures must be taken to help them meet these growing expenses and enable them to pursue their studies in decent conditions.
