Student Housing is becoming more and more popular over the last few years with the demand out growing the supply. University and College enrolment is on the rise, particularly now as some of the younger generation seeks to hunker down in school to ride out the current economic turbulence.

"Wait lists for programs can be years long, with qualified applicants far outnumbering available spaces. Equipment shortages and deferred building maintenance characterize the system."
