The Class Foundation was founded in response to the student housing crisis

It's our mission to provide a stage to identify the current needs and shape the student living of tomorrow.

We are collaborative, committed change-makers.

We've built a community of sector leaders committed to the betterment of student living in university cities.

We host regional forums and a flagship annual conference where we discuss the forces that are shaping student living.

We're developing a deep understanding of the shifts in living preferences of young people across Europe.

A 10-Year Vision

Through collaboration with industry experts and data, we have identified a pressing need to add 3.2 million PBSA beds across Europe in the next 10 years.

To meet this challenge, The Class is developing a 10-year vision that breaks down actionable targets and recommendations at both a European and National level, with a particular focus on key markets.

Our vision is shaped on four foundational pillars:

Availability

Expanding the supply of housing stock to meet the growing demand.

Accessibility

Ensuring equitable and affordable accommodation for a diverse range of students.

Experience

Enhancing student and community experience.

Collaboration

Leading a collective agenda across sectors and public-private stakeholders.
