%X A recognized phenomenon in student cities is studentification, which is seen as the process of more incoming students into local communities. It is argued that these students have little interest in the local residents which can cause tensions that influence the student-local resident relationship due to different expectations. This study investigates how studentification influences this relationship in Groningen and how it can be improved utilizing stakeholder participation. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 participants. The results indicated that tensions indeed arose between the students and local residents. This paper concludes that stakeholder collaboration between governmental and non-governmental parties is needed to improve the student-local resident relationship, and thereby the social cohesion.
