Abstract：

Studentification has become a new research topic of western urban geography along with the increase of student population and its impacts on urban change. This paper firstly introduces the concept of studentification. Secondly, it concludes the main research contents, including the types and spatial layout of studentification, the background and mechanism of studentification, and the diverse impacts of studentification on local communities and cities as well as policies responses. It argues that these researches contribute to the exploration of residential segregation and class inequality in the process of urban restructuring, from the unique perspective of higher education students and their spatial consumption. At last, based on the former researches on Chinese studentification, this paper points out the importance of studentification research in China and some directions of future research.
