Is it a problem renting to students next door to working adults?

Students from a nearby college have rented one triplex unit. Another two units are still available and I am showing them. Four out of 5 inquiries are from other students from the same college, which is just 5 minutes away.  However, I am also getting a couple inquiries from a working adults as well. Based on the number of student inquiries, I was beginning to think all units will end up being rented to students. That aside, if I rented to a working adult, non-student, I am wondering how difficult it would be for working adults and students to be tenants in a triplex. Is it better for the tenants to be in the same situation, ie, all from the same university? Does it cause problems having working adults and college students as tenants? I'm imagining that students are going to be noisier, be up later, have more friends over, and have more cars pulling in and out, than most adults.  Any suggestions?
