There are now more international applicants to British universities than ever, but just because they’re students, it doesn’t mean they don’t have a taste for the finer things in life. For luxury brands looking to build relationships with a generation that is yet to reach its full spending potential, there’s new members’ club, The Luxury Student.

Students in the UK aren’t as wild as they used to be, with a YouGov report finding that half of them claim that they don't get drunk during a typical week. As young people put their wellness first, brands can respond by offering low-alcohol or alcohol-free options targeted at this demographic.

Gallons of beer, unwashed dishes, and all-nighters after a week of parties – all cornerstones of the student lifestyle. But in 2016, the stereotype is increasingly out of date. Students are drinking less, working more and paying more. How does it affect the way they see their time at university?
