Abstract: Over the last thirty years, studentification has emerged as a subset form of gentrification that has dramatically transformed the socio-economic landscape of the American Rust Belt Region. However, the impacts of this process have widely remained understudied outside of economic impacts alone. Therefore, this study takes an in-depth examination on the residential geographies and demographic impacts of studentification within the Rust Belt cities of Binghamton and Johnson City, NY, over the past two decades using data from the U.S. Census Bureau and Binghamton University’s Department of Geography. With direct knowledge of the specific locations of HE students, this thesis found that many of the spatial and temporal aspects of studentification have taken form within each municipality, while also uniquely concentrating within neighborhoods experiencing growing rates of racial diversity. Thus, this thesis highlights the contextual importance of HEIs in the Rust Belt, in addition to the racialized landscape of studentification
