Students who study beyond the standard period of study:
🔹 have a lower sense of belonging
🔹 are less likely to rate their academic performance better than that of their fellow students
🔹 are more likely to consider dropping out than those still within the standard period of study.

Today I learned: Studierende in Klagenfurt machen am häufigsten keinen Sport, Studierende in Innsbruck machen am häufigsten mehr als drei Mal wöchentlich Sport. Am Seltensten betätigen sich Ingenieurswesen-Studierende an öffentlichen Kunst-Unis sportlich.

Although educational background is considered a key determinant of 🌍 international student mobility (ISM), it is worth taking a broader look at how migration background, income structure, parental prosperity, field of study, and HEI characteristics shape ISM participation.

As per the latest EuroStudent Report:

🍽️ 23% to food
🚌 7% to transportation
The rest? Well, that’s for everything else student life throws at you. We urge the EU to take action and be ambitious with the upcoming housing action plan.

Across EUROSTUDENT countries, 26% of students face an accommodation cost overburden.
International students report it even more often than domestic ones. The burden is also heavier for those relying on public student support. Also, students w. financial difficulties are far more likely to struggle.

When looking at students' time budget, 🇱🇻 Latvian and 🇵🇱 Polish students top the charts, spending 54 hours/week on study & work — compared to just 41 hours in 🇫🇷 France. On average, part-time students clock 10 more hours weekly than full-timers, mostly due to working nearly 3× as much (32h vs 11h).
