When in doubt go for the more elegant (or at least the least inelegant)
option which would be students' imo. And on a related note (and hoping I don
t upset the original typist here) are any of the other pedants on the list
having the urge to ignore the worry about the apostrophe and correct 'where'
to 'were' and 'hall way' to hallway'?

not upset at all! Homophones are the bane of my life, though I have finally
sorted out which and witch, too and two and I am close on weather and
whether. There and their (but not they're) and where, were and wear are
still to come. But hey, it's only taken me 34 years to get the first two so
by the time I am 50 should all be good!
