Untitled edit
Examples of 'direct' results of students' presence could include their drunken and noisy behaviour late at night, or their persistent failure to remove 'wheely bins' from the pavement after emptying. (This is not to indicate that these are inevitable in every area where students are based, rather that if these things do occur, they are the results of the students' own actions, rather than indirect responses to their presence).
This seems a NPOV
Studentification edit
Studentification is its own area that I believe ought to have its own page separate from college towns which does not sufficiently cover the topic
College Town edit
Hmm... I'm intrigued why this was decided... The College town article covers non of the proposed effects of "studentification" and is a very non-global viewpoint. OK it's a new theory, but one that's often cited in policy discussions in the UK at least. Maybe if Darren Smith had just added it referrig to his paper, but are we afeared of cutting edge...?

- Over a decade later and this link is still here. Studentification is nothing to do with college towns, rather it is the invasion of traditional residential areas by transient and sometimes antisocial student populations. Are Bristol or Durham 'college towns', even allowing for the Americanism of the term? Of course they're not, but they have big studentification problems as a result of university expansion. --Ef80 (talk) 14:05, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
