UPEI Student Union commissions Student Housing Survey

The UPEI Student Union in partnership with student leadership at Holland College and Collège de l'Île has commissioned a survey of students from post-secondary institutions across PEI to learn more about their housing experience. The project is being undertaken by Turner Drake & Partners with support from UPLAND Studio in Halifax.

In an email on April 8, the UPEI Student Union asked UPEI students to participate in the study, which will help to provide a deeper understanding of the student housing landscape, and where there are opportunities to improve the options for students in the province and better meet their housing needs. 

Some of the questions posed in the survey include "Have you had challenges finding housing during your academic journey?" and "Are you living in housing that is unaffordable or unsuitable?" It takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete and answers are anonymous and cannot be traced back to students. The survey will be available until Monday, April 29, 2024.
