Kingston student ghetto
The Kingston University District — unofficially known by locals as the Kingston student ghetto — is a residential area for students surrounding Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, that is inhabited mostly by students of the University. The District’s borders are not clearly defined, but generally includes the area within an approximately three kilometre radius of the University's Main Campus.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Queen's Journal - "University District Concept Approved" )〕
Specifically, the area may be defined as the area bordered by Sir John A. Macdonald Blvd. in the west, Princess Street in the north and east, and Lake Ontario in the south. However, the "core" of the District is often considered to be the area immediately north of the Main Campus, between Princess and Earl Streets, from Albert Street in the west to Clergy Street in the east. This surrounds what is known to locals as "the Hub", an area which contains a high concentration of bars and nightclubs, as well as additional stores and student housing.
==Name==
The name of the region where the majority of students live in is a controversial topic. It is still largely referred to as "the student ghetto" or simply "the ghetto" by Queen's students and local Kingstonians, but this name is disagreeable for many people. The Alma Mater Society considers it "offensive to those individuals in the world who live in real ghettos", and first attempted to rename the area as the "Student Village" in 2006. However, the name did not stick, and there were additional complaints by residents of the area who were not students. Another campaign was launched in 2008, including another article in the Whig Standard - this time by Municipal Affairs Commissioner Paul Tye - which updated much of the terminology related to the area, and officially ended the Alma Mater Society's use of the phrase "student ghetto".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Whig - Queen's students seek 'ghetto' makeover )〕 Finally, in 2011, the Alma Mater Society passed a resolution through its legislative body, the AMS Assembly, to formally recognize the area as the "University District."〔http://queensjournal.ca/story/2011-09-20/editorials/not-ready-new-name/〕 Unlike the "student village" attempt, the 2011 campaign gained more widespread acceptance, leading to the City of Kingston formally recognizing the name for the area and implementing distinct street signs officially denoting the area as the University District.〔https://www.cityofkingston.ca/-/kingston-unveils-new-university-district-signage〕
