Abstract
This article analyzes and interprets the changes produced in the neighborhood of Agüita de la Perdiz (Concepción - Chile), as a consequence of the arrival of university students to it. Although Anglo-Saxon studies have shown in recent years the importance of the so-called studentification processes as triggers of physical, social, economic and cultural changes in the neighborhoods, assimilating them at times to global manifestations of the gentrification process, are scarce the studies from other socio-spatial contexts. Based on these premises, this paper analyzes this phenomenon through a methodology that combines the use of quantitative and qualitative data, obtaining results that confirm the existence of some transformations that also occur in other cases of study, along with other particular ones, explainable by the own singularity of the neighborhood and identifiable with the socially peripheral character and the own informal origin of the case analyzed.
