尽管英国的高等教育似乎一直处于扩张状态，但20世纪90年代学生人数的增长使早期的学生人数相形见绌。1987年，当时的教育大臣肯尼斯·贝克（Kenneth Baker）设定了一个目标，即到1990年代中期，所有18至19岁的人中有35%的人接受高等教育（教育和科学部，1987年）。在这十年中，英国相当于全日制的学生人数几乎翻了一番：从这十年开始时的大约69万人增加到这十年结束时的120多万人（教育和科学部，1993年;高等教育和科学部，2002年）。因此，额外的510 000名学生被引入该系统。这被认为是由供应方驱动的：大学招收更多的学生符合其利益，因为它们的资金与学生人数挂钩。这些学生中的大多数将需要住宿靠近他们的学习地点。这可以被认为在短时间内对这些地区产生了重大影响;这种影响往往被负面地描述。本文将建议城市如何来吸收学生人口的增加，在某些非常严格定义的地区;调查的原因，“集群”的学生在这些地区的城市;并考虑这些地区的“土著人口”的影响;和城市的一般活力的影响，他们被发现。
Although it may seem that higher education is in an almost constant state of expansion in the UK, the 1990s saw an increase in student numbers that dwarfed earlier ones. In 1987, the then Secretary of State for Education Kenneth Baker set a target of 35% of all 18to 19-year-olds to be experiencing higher education by the mid-1990s (Department of Education and Science, 1987). Over the decade, there was a near doubling in full time equivalent student numbers in England: from around 690 000 at the start of the decade to over 1.2 million at its end (Department of Education and Science, 1993; HESA, 2002). Thus an extra 510 000 students were introduced into the system. This was seen as being driven from the supply side: it was in the interests of universities to recruit more students since their funding is tied to student numbers. The majority of these students will have required accommodation close to their places of study. This may be considered to have had a major impact on such areas over a short timescale; an impact that is often presented negatively. This article will suggest how cities have come to absorb the increase in student populations in certain very tightly-defined areas; investigate the reasons for the ‘clustering’ of students in such areas of cities; and consider the impacts on the ‘indigenous population’ of these areas; and the implications for the general vitality of the cities where they are found.
