Description

Hi,
I was wondering if there was any guidance on university students in the sample. Are these generally considered as moved to a new household, if they are away for only part of the year? Are interviews conducted with university students who are living remotely on campus? Or is there a lower chance that university students would be included in the surveys since they are away from 'home'?
I haven't found much previous UKHLS work that focussed specifically on university students, so I'm wondering if there are some methodological reasons for this.

Dear Eleanor,

Please see the text of the FAQ about this:

"Students who have left the household are followed and treated as a “split-off” household. If they are living in institutional accommodation (e.g., Halls of Residence), they are considered to be the only member of the household. If they are living in private residence (e.g., renting a flat), then the usual rules apply of who is considered part of the household."

Best wishes,
Piotr Marzec
