From what I remember of being a student (best part of 20 years ago), the hobby seems completely incompatible with the limited space of a small room in a university hall of residence or a shared flat full of drunk or stoned young adults.
When I was a student, I had a £35 CD mini-Hi-Fi and about 30 CDs. Music was an absolute life-saver but it had to be a space-saver as well. Vinyl wasn't even a consideration at that time.
For me, it's highly unlikely that I would ever have to move outside my local area so I would do more of a Great Escape/Shawshank Redemption thing and take them over 15 at a time in my record bag rather than trust them to some removal company.
