South University Avenue is an east-west street on the southern edge of the original University of Michigan campus. It runs east from State Street; after exiting campus, it runs through a commercial area dominated by coffee shops, bars, restaurants and retail establishments that cater to high school and college students. This business area is therefore mostly vacant during the summer and during breaks from school; Ann Arbor townies claim it was a more balanced shopping district twenty years ago, and many of the business owners on South U say the present situation is not sustainable. East of Washtenaw Avenue, South University passes through a residential area housing mostly students, ending at Oxford Road and the University's Oxford Housing complex.
