Sir: David Walker quotes a Leeds University professor as saying, "Students who live at home don't integrate; it limits the range of experience they are subjected to; they are not as rounded as students."
That is a nonsensical generalisation. All Open University students live at home yet many are among the most socially and intellectually rounded undergraduate and postgraduate students in Britain.
