Abstract:聽As private university residences have emerged as a new frontier of investment by sophisticated financial actors, international students have also become scapegoats of Canada鈥檚 housing affordability crisis, and scholarship increasingly describes purportedly global processes of 鈥渟tudentification,鈥� remaking some neighbourhoods as isolated 鈥渂ubbles鈥� or enclaves of student life. Drawing on recent and ongoing research in Montreal and elsewhere, I argue that student housing presents a valuable portal through which to understand broader urban dynamics. These dynamics include reconfigurations of land rents and the gendering and 鈥済enerationing鈥� of urban space, touching students and non-students alike.
