Depending on where people gather on campus we do see 5 GHz use that can flirt with 45% or so. But typical for the residences is around 30% for us on 5 GHz.

In the planning I figured each student would have three devices (which is all we allow) on the wireless, or about 12 students per device. The APs we use are dual band, and I'm seeing about 20% usage of 5 GHz, which is up a little bit from last year. I believe the newer HT WiFi technologies are focused on 5 GHz, so I wouldn't be surprised to see more device 5 GHz capability in the near future.
