Abstract
As Generation Z young adults are entering post-secondary education, little is known about the role of affordability in understanding these students’ housing preferences. For this purpose, we introduce a methodology, the Housing Preferences Choice Board (HPCB), mimicing conditions of expensive rental markets. This paper seeks to elucidate students’ decision-making concerning housing (including location, commuting to campus, amenities, etc.) under economically low versus high constrained scenarios. Findings indicate that, when lowly restrained by costs, students would generally prefer to live close to the university, retail and entertainment areas, with a private room (and private facilities). Additionally, students would choose to be in contact with the student community with good relationships with roommates. However, when highly financially constrained, they prioritize adequate housing characteristics, a private room (within a shared dwelling), and a transport-accessible location (even far from campus). Choices are made at the expense of connection to community, peers, and their university campus, historically associated with student success and well-being.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
