It would be interested to see the actual study. Does the 32,000 beds include all forms of 'student' housing in the area, or just the private beds? Is it possible that the surplus are actually the lower end units that have not been taken off the market (ie reverted back to single-family housing)? Similarly, I would wonder what will happen to some of the apartments that were cheaply built in the last decade but that may not be as well-maintained as they could be. That could skew supply.
