I'm not saying sharing is bad in total, but even if you share a property you might need housing benefit in order to afford it.
Also the expectation for most students is that the shared accommodation is for a set period of time. Historically (and even till quite recently) the state of that shared accommodation has been below a standard most people paying privately would accept.
Students have also had state support in the from of grants or government backed loans
Quite a bit of which is never repaid

Around 45% of university graduates will not earn enough to repay their student loans, the government now believes.

So why is state support for students good but bad for those between 18 - 21 who may want to work?
