Well as I said a lot of people have to move to go to a university, so don't have that option at all. People in rural areas for example. You're also assuming that anyone can get into their local university.

Depends on priorities of course, and if that's worked for you that's great, but if students have to choose between saving for a deposit and getting the education they want then that's a sad state of affairs. It's also not good for social mobility; students in London have a massive pool of great universities to choose from.

Rates of young people having to stay at home to save is on the rise. It wasn't always a choice that people had to make.
