This could have a pretty big demographic impact on a few cities.
In Halifax for example there are around 60,000 people living on the peninsula. There are around 30,000 students (and 100,000 workers, constant visitors, etc.). The population number alone doesn't account for how busy the area is.
Downtown Toronto and Montreal similarly have a big concentration of post-secondary students. Vancouver's universities are more spread out but still, there could be parts of town that appear to have lower densities than they really do because they are full of students.
