“Half of all applicants this year are concerned they won’t fit in and this cohort are telling us that they’re less socially confident as well. So, at Unite Students we’re using that knowledge to shape how we welcome students.” https://lnkd.in/gcA9aQc8 Will White, our Higher Education Engagement Director, shared his thoughts on this year’s Applicant Index findings, and how we’re using the data to create a great place to live for residents when they join us next month, on our Accommodation Matters podcast. The episode covers the ever-shifting impact of the pandemic on this year’s incoming student cohort, how they’re feeling about their finances ahead of coming to university, and what this means in practical terms for universities and student accommodation providers. ✏ Read the transcript: https://lnkd.in/gcA9aQc8 🍏 Listen on Apple: https://lnkd.in/ezhzJRF9 🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://lnkd.in/eHR6_HdM

International students will make up a substantial proportion of the UK’s student population when the new academic year starts in a few weeks, but how do their mental health needs differ from those of UK-based students? https://lnkd.in/gptduYRr Our Accommodation Matters podcast host Jenny Shaw is joined by Jamie-Lukas Campbell (PhD Researcher and Teaching Assistant at Queen's University Belfast), Dom Smithies (Head of Influencing & Communications at Student Minds), Andy Winter (Director of Student Support Services at The University of Sheffield) and our special guest, Bernadette Cochonat 高蓓娜 (Head of International Sales and Partnerships at Unite Students). The panel covers some of the factors that have an impact on international students’ mental health – including finances, visas and cultural competency in student support – and how other countries’ approach to mental health can influence students’ own views on seeking support, as well as how mental health issues might present for students from different cultures.
