Introducing The Student Living Monitor

The European Student Living Monitor (SLM) is the first of its kind research, which examines the impact of accommodation on student experience. SLM was first launched in 2021 in the Netherlands. In 2023, it expanded to a Europe-wide research initiative. For its second edition, SLM has gathered nearly 11,000 responses, bringing you deeper insights on student living, and highlighting the crucial role PBSA and university residences play in impacting student experience and success.
Essentially, the survey is driven by two guiding questions:

- Do certain facilities and/or services have a positive effect on student wellbeing?

- Which students have the best living experience and what are the drivers behind this?
