Large primary state schools like Tennessee and Purdue had the strongest rent growth. Smaller institutions such as Vermont (16.7 percent rent growth), San Jose State (15.8 percent), Oregon State (15.8 percent) and New Hampshire (15.6 percent), also stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRent growth is most significantly impacted by preleasing and enrollment trends.
