There Goes the Neighborhood - Adam reports from England on today's Word Spy neologism:

Studentification actually is a big problem here, the more so as the government tries to spark economic revitalization in the UK's former industrial powerhouses. Manchester probably has enough critical mass, but in places like Leeds, which are shells of their former selves as economic activity concentrates increasingly around London and the South East, investment in universities (with the intention of high-tech or biotech clusters springing up around them) has led to this phenom. It sounds dreadful, the more so because the drinking age here is 18. Studentification means that the only businesses that survive are those that cater to the students and liquor stores do particularly well.
