Leeds isn't "most university cities".

You're right....

Quote:

Leeds has the second largest student population outside London with a current figure of over 200,000 students

The reasoning behind my original statement was that I am a Board Member of one of the JANET Regional Network Operators, and we have regular discussions with other RNO's and University directors, and they have fed back about the shifts in Student Accomodation from multi-occupancy houses to the Opal/unite/et al model - there is still a large amount of the MOHs, but it is decreasing year on year.

Read my update (being expanded whilst you were replying...).

My city has student accomodation but it only has capacity for a fraction of whatever students will be there at any given point. I be surprised if this glut of empty student properties is nationwide spread and I can check how it is in my city by asking my landlord as he owns a load.

No students whatsoever near me and it's still badly congested.

yeah student areas have it worse but its certianly not the only cause of VM congestion.
