Training Resources for Scraping Data

Question:
The name of the survey is "Tuition and Living Accommodation Costs", yet 
I have been unable to find any accommodation costs data anywhere. Do 
they exist? If so, where? If not, why not?

Answer:
Accommodation costs are in Table 7.

Eg: "TABLE 7. LIVING ACCOMMODATION COSTS FOR RESIDENCES, 2017-2018 (actual), annual (dollars)”

It’s hard to find because you have to scroll to the end of all the worksheets, so it’s not immediately obvious  or especially intuitive if you’re not using a large monitor.
