 | The study by Dr Darren Smith for the city and regional office of the University of Leeds, shows that the processes underpinning the residential concentration of students within Leeds, termed studentification, are dynamic, complex and involve a range of institutions and social groups. |
| Based on a survey of 400 full-time undergraduate students of the University of Leeds, Dr Smith reveals that students have a cultural orientation to move out of halls of residence at the end of their first year of study and into private rented accommodation, particularly within Headingley and Hyde Park. |
| In conclusion, Dr Smith argues that it would be beneficial for local policy makers and University officials to acknowledge the different residential and locational preferences of students, when seeking to alleviate the intensity of student concentrations in Headingley and Hyde Park. |
