W kierunku studentyfikacji? Zakwaterowanie studenckie w polskich miastach akademickich

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.
