Abstract Student housing was discussed in the literature under the aspects of residential preference and satisfaction; inducing factors of behavior and demand in the real estate market; and influencing variables in choosing the habitation. However, the works that approach topics about real estate meant for students and the new products of the Brazilian real estate, the ones named Student Housing (SH), are scarce. Within this context, the objective of this research is to propose guidelines to orient the development process of SH buildings. For this purpose, the work proposed, initially, through a comparative study of seven SH real states, to investigate the main characteristics of this product model. Such information, added to the bibliographic review of the literature, allowed the exploration, through a survey, of university students’ opinion about the importance of four pre-established requirements. The results revealed that many attributes present in new Brazilian SH buildings are not considered important or are indifferent from the students' point of view, which shows additional and unnecessary costs for investors. In contrast, the study identified several requirements valuable to users. Based on thist, twelve guidelines were suggested to orient the student market designers, developers, and investors in the development of their products.
The University of Tennessee was the college in the United States with most student housing to be delivered by the Fall of 2025. In college towns, university dorms and purpose-built student housing properties do not always meet the demand for student accommodation, which makes conventional apartments a popular and promising type of investment. The University of Tennessee is expected to have 2,565 new beds for student housing delivered.

This paper investigates a class of matching problems—the assignment of indivisible items to agents where some agents have prior claims to some of the items. As a running example, we will refer to the indivisible items as houses. House allocation problems are not only of theoretical interest, but also of practical importance. A house allocation mechanism assigns a set of houses (or offices, tasks, etc.) to prospective tenants, allotting at most one house to each tenant. Rents are exogenously given and there is no medium of exchange, such as money. In general some houses will have existing tenants, some houses will be empty, and some applicants for housing will be new (e.g., freshmen). The canonical examples are assignment of college students to dormitory rooms and public housing units. Other examples are assignment of offices and tasks to individuals.
