There are units available meeting these conditions to be sure, but usually a mere handful. If you are willing to live by the highway or right smack on the middle of nowhere, the number of choices goes up substantially. Still vacancy rate of 2.6% is considered to be on the low side.
Are you talking specifically high-rises/big purpose-built apartment buildings? I can see Uptown being saturated with students, but closer to downtown I've found them less common, especially in smaller buildings. Of course, there are reasons to want to live in a big professionally-managed building, too.
