A homeowner says partying students are forcing her from her home.
Tessa Meijer blames all night parties, noisy, drunken behaviour and constant litter for driving her out of her home, which is sandwiched between two student-let houses in the Hanover area of Brighton.
And she says she has even hurt herself trying to dodge the rubbish bins, recycling boxes and bicycles left on the pavements.
Ms Meijer called for the universities to limit the amount of student housing in residential streets and to force students to behave.
A council spokeswoman said it worked with university staff, landlords and estate agents to tackle problems.
A spokeswoman for the University of Brighton said the complaint would be investigated and that students moving into private sector education were warned to behave when they applied for courses.
