Studentification is a global phenomenon that has been prominent in urban geographical discourse since the large-scale expansion of higher education in the early 1990s. In many developed and developing world countries, expansion in student enrolment has outstripped the ability of institutions of higher learning to provide adequate accommodation. Similar trends have been recorded in South Africa. The task of this paper is to investigate studentification as experienced in one of South Africa’s secondary cities. The paper draws attention to the economic, socio-cultural, and physical characteristics of this form of student housing on host locations. It is argued that studentification holds both positive and negative impacts for the host communities of Bloemfontein. Finally, it is suggested that studentification in South Africa requires greater research attention.

This paper studies the gender inequalities in university-provided student accommodation in Babolsar, Iran, in relation to the role of the dominant political power and its approach in shaping the physical form of public dormitories and the living conditions of students. Secondary data analysis based on a questionnaire survey is utilised, and the results show that in numerous physical and non-physical ways women’s public dormitories are designed and controlled in favour of the dominant political power and against the wishes of their residents. This research examines how the ideological and cultural background permeates institutional practices in housing and affects the living conditions of a disadvantaged social group, which can open a discussion on the role of housing in social exclusion.

Student accommodation received recently particular attention of scholars. As evidenced in the United Kingdom – due to the massification of higher education – private accommodation markets started to expand in university cities. The paper aims to discuss these findings in Polish context taking into consideration data on students’ populations and their use of halls of residence run by higher educational institutions (HEIs) in 18 major Polish university cities. While 10 cities experienced a growth of university students between 2004 and 2014, at the same time in 17 cities their number and proportion accommodated in halls of residence run by HEIs lowered. It is to say that majority of these cities most probably experienced an influx of students seeking private accommodation.

Zakwaterowanie studenckie zyskało w ostatnich latach szczególną uwagę badaczy. Doświadczenia brytyjskie wskazują, że rynki zakwaterowania prywatnego adresowanego do studentów zaczęły dynamicznie rozwijać się w tamtejszych miastach akademickich wskutek umasowienia szkolnictwa wyższego. Celem artykułu jest omówienie tych doświadczeń w kontekście polskim. Przedstawiono w nim zmianę populacji studentów w 18 dużych ośrodkach akademickich kraju oraz ich liczby i odsetka korzystającego z zakwaterowania oferowanego przez uczelnie. Wskazano, że między rokiem 2004 i 2014 populacja studentów uległa zwiększeniu w 10 spośród analizowanych ośrodków, a liczba i odsetek studentów zakwaterowanych w uczelnianych akademikach zmalały w 17 ośrodkach. W omawianej dekadzie polskie miasta akademickie mogły zatem doświadczyć wzrostu liczby studentów poszukujących zakwaterowania na rynku prywatnym.
