Nonsense Parmy, 80% of those are for short stay visits and another 8% are students (not eligible for housing and will use Uni residence or rent privately).

Universities receive far more applications from overseas applicants for postgraduate study than they do for Home students, mainly because many Home students go aboard so they get their Masters for free, Overseas students are far more lucrative for universities as the fees are 3 times that of a Home/EU, short term study visas will only allow students to stay just over the teaching block, usually 2 weeks.
