Bizarrely, I was talking about this subject with a friend a few weeks ago. We were discussing the fact that the improved transport links with Coventry (ie the train station) could attract more students to Kenilworth: http://www.warwickcourier.co.uk/news/local-news/student-flats-planned-for-kenilworth-s-talisman-square-1-7014605

I really wonder if this is a good idea?

Coventry is busy converting and building for students, it seems to me that we're putting all our eggs in one basket. I also wonder how students are expected to afford these places, or if they will want to, when there are houses of multiple occupancy available locally at far better rates?

Kenilworth is definitely becoming a student overspill area for Coventry. I don't know how they'll be able to afford this place though: http://www.leamingtoncourier.co.uk/news/kenilworth-hotel-could-become-luxury-student-accommodation-1-7632587
