I would guess that the Sidney Street Cambridge Sainsburys is a special case:
it is used very heavily by students. Most of the Cambridge University
Colleges (which provide accomodation for a high proportion of students
'on-site') are within half a mile: several are within a couple of hundred
yards of it.
