"The expansion in Queens University student numbers, the inadequate provision of University Accommodation along with dramatic over-development by private landlords, and the attraction of living near the many amenities in South Belfast has drawn students to the Holyland area, a typical university precinct. This has radically transformed the area’s demographic makeup, from that of predominantly working class nationalist family residences to now over 90% student occupation in Houses of Multiple Occupancy (HMOs). Roughly 7,000 students live in this one square kilometre of Belfast. The long-term residential population has dwindled to 400-500 and an increase in anti-social behaviour by a minority of students has intensified friction between the ‘settled’ community and the student population. Overcrowding and poor community infrastructure has exacerbated problems such as violent behaviour, noise, burglary and vehicle crime. In recent times there has been a marked increase in anti-social behaviour from students resulting in an increased number of complaints to both universities. This in turn led to increased media attention on the Holyland area, most notably on the BBCNI Spotlight current affairs television programme, which highlighted the problems of anti-social behaviour.

Wondering if it used to be Nationalist? The churches there are Protestant, and I had family lived there. The primary school isn't a Catholic one. It used to be either a Unionist area, or a mixed one?

Over time most of the areas srrounding the Lower Ormeau (including the Holylands) became vastly nationalist area. (Derry Boi 19:41, 24 November 2006 (UTC))[reply]
