How could your vote in the Scottish Elections impact your housing as a student?

Over the past two years, we’ve been working hard to push student housing up the agenda, and what we’ve seen is simple: decisions made in Parliament directly affect your rent, your rights, and your experience at university.

Many of you told us that accommodation is one of your biggest challenges. This article breaks down why voting matters and how to approach it in an informed way.

This isn’t about telling you who to vote for. It’s about helping you ask the right questions and understand the impact your vote can have.

Be part of something bigger, your voice helps shape what happens next.
