Funding student housing in United Kingdom

Yao Meng, a finance graduate from a college in Manchest, UK who graduated in 2012 (study period 2010-2012, three-year undergraduate), return to Shanghai to work as a financial analyst in 2012. With four years' of experience of investment and market analysis under her belt, she is convinced Manchester, the city hosts her Alma Mater, now makes for a potential investment destination.

She will visit the English city soon to check out a planned new project for student accommodation. She would also like to see for herself changes, if any, in the student housing market since she left the city in 2012.

"Back then, it was really difficult to find a decent place to live. Students' budgets are often quite limited. Housing supply was also short, so rent was expensive. I moved three times during my two-year stay. It was so time-consuming and tiring," said Meng.
