EDUCATION REALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES
THIRD QUARTER 2008 RESULTS

MEMPHIS, TN., October 27, 2008 — Education Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE:EDR), a leader in the ownership, development and management of student housing, today announced operating results for the third quarter of 2008.

Note: All per share/unit results are reported on a weighted average basis for the respective periods.

Third Quarter Highlights

• Total revenue for the quarter increased $4.1 million or 14.4% to $32.4 million and operating income declined $0.7 million to an operating loss of $0.2 million;

• Net loss from continuing operations was $7.3 million compared to a net loss of $5.8 million in the third quarter of 2007;

• Funds from operations (FFO) for the quarter was a loss of $0.5 million or $0.02 per share/unit versus positive FFO of $1.8 million or $0.06 per share/unit in the third quarter of 2007;

• Place portfolio operating income contribution for the third quarter 2008 was $0.7 million compared to other lease revenue on the portfolio in the prior year of $3.5 million, contributing to an operating income decline of $2.8 million and FFO per share/unit decline of $0.10;

• Same-community revenue was flat to prior year at $19.4 million and net operating income declined 9.0% to $6.0 million;

• Same-community rental rates for the 2008-2009 academic year are up 5.1% and opening physical occupancies are down about 0.8% over the prior lease year, excluding three communities in currently challenging leasing markets. In total same-community rates are up about 3.3% over the prior lease term and opening physical occupancies, as measured on September 30^th, are down about 260 basis points year over year to 93.7%;

• The Company was recently awarded three new third-party development projects, including additional phases with two existing university customers and a new $38.8 million, 882 bed development project at East Stroudsburg University in Pennsylvania.

“We made solid progress on improving occupancy and rate across the majority of our portfolio, as well as producing growth in our third-party development revenue. While we were able to reduce the rate of expense growth in the quarter, we acknowledge we have the opportunity over the coming quarters to make further meaningful reductions.” commented Paul O. Bower, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “With the unprecedented economic and financial pressures, no business will be immune. However, our portfolio of high quality well diversified student housing communities should weather the volatility more favorably than other types of real estate.”

Mr. Bower continued, “Over my forty-five years in this industry, the one constant has been that the long term demand fundamentals for student housing tend to be quite stable. That said, we must effectively execute on our strategy, which includes further strengthening our balance sheet and focusing our efforts on maximizing property occupancy while at the same time intensifying our commitment to reducing operating expenses. Together, this should result in improved portfolio profitability for the Company.”

Third Quarter Operating Results

Total revenue grew $4.1 million or 14.4% to $32.4 million for the third quarter of 2008 from $28.3 million in the comparable quarter of 2007. During the third quarter of 2008, the Company achieved year over year revenue growth in each of its core segments: student housing leasing, third-party management services and third-party development services.

Student housing leasing revenue increased $5.3 million or 27.3% to $24.7 million in the third quarter of 2008. The growth included $4.9 million related to the inclusion of the Place Portfolio whose operations were taken over by the Company in the first quarter of 2008 as a result of the lease termination and $0.4 million related to the August 2008 opening of The Reserve at Saluki Point community which was developed by the Company’s development subsidiary. Same-community revenue was flat to last year. Other leasing revenue was down $3.5 million from the same quarter in 2007 as a result of the termination of the 13 property lease with Place Properties.

Third-party development services revenue increased 149.9% or $1.9 million to $3.2 million for the third quarter of 2008. The 2008 start of projects at West Chester University of Pennsylvania and Phase III at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUPA) along with recognition of development fee incentives on the second phase project at IUPA contributed to the growth.

Third-party management services revenue increased 3.1% to $0.9 million for the third quarter of 2008. The addition of two new management contracts during the second quarter of 2008 contributed growth of 4.6%, and existing contracts contributed 11.2% of growth. These increases were offset by a decline in revenue related to two contracts the Company exited in the past year.

Total operating expenses were $32.6 million for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $27.8 million in same quarter of 2007. Student housing operating expenses increased $5.0 million or 39.3%, with $4.2 million attributable to the addition of the Place Properties operations in 2008, $0.2 million from the August 2008 opening of The Reserve at Saluki Point community and the balance, $0.6 million coming from a 4.8% growth in same-community operating expenses.

2

Corporate general and administrative expense increased $0.3 million to $4.0 million, primarily due to growth in compensation expense. Depreciation and amortization expense declined $0.9 million year over year. As a result, the Company had an operating loss for the third quarter of 2008 of $0.2 million compared to operating income of $0.5 million for the same period last year. Total non-operating expenses increased $0.1 million to $6.5 million in the third quarter of 2008 from $6.4 million in the third quarter of 2007.

Net loss from continuing operations was $7.3 million, or $0.26 per weighted average diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008 compared to a loss of $5.8 million, or $0.20 per weighted average diluted share, for the same period of last year.

FFO for the third quarter of 2008 was a loss of $0.5 million compared to positive FFO of $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2007. FFO per share/unit was a loss of $0.02 compared to positive FFO of $0.06 per share/unit in the third quarter of 2007, representing a year over year decline of $0.08 per share/unit. The decline in FFO and FFO per share/unit reflects growth in core revenue, offset by higher operating costs at the Company’s same communities. In addition, the Company received lower operating income contribution from operating the Place Portfolio compared to the lease revenue received on the Portfolio in the prior year. A reconciliation of FFO to net income (loss), in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) is included in the financial tables accompanying this release.

Same-Community Results

Revenue for the third quarter of 2008 was $19.4 million, relatively flat to the third quarter of 2007. Rental rate increases of approximately 3.0% were offset by a 1.8% drop due to occupancy and a 1.2% decline in revenue due to more vacant days during the turn period in August 2008 compared to a year ago. Operating expenses increased 4.8% to $13.4 million and net operating income declined 9.0% to $6.0 million. The 4.8% operating expense increase was mainly attributable to: a rise in payroll related expenses, increased marketing expenses, and higher utility costs.

Occupancy and Leasing

The average physical and economic occupancies on a same-community basis for the third quarter of 2008 were 91.0% and 78.2%, respectively, compared to 92.3% and 81.0% in the prior year. Physical occupancy is the average of occupied rooms at the end of each month, whereas economic occupancy represents net apartment rent on a US GAAP basis as a percentage of potential rent and reflects the impact of straight-line rent.

On a same-community basis, the 2008-2009 lease year opened with an average rate growth of 5.1% and an occupancy decline of approximately 0.8%, excluding three communities in the currently challenging markets of Kalamazoo, Michigan, Gainesville, Florida, and Oxford, Mississippi. In total, same-community average rates for the 2008-2009 lease year grew about 3.3% and occupancy declined approximately 2.6%. The Place Portfolio opened with an average occupancy of 81.9% compared with 87.8% one year ago.

Place Lease Termination and Conversion

In February 2008, the Company terminated a lease with Place Properties, Inc. (“Place”) for 13 properties (“Place Portfolio”) owned by the Company but previously operated and managed by Place. As a result, Allen & O’Hara Education Services, Inc., the Company’s management subsidiary, began managing these 13 properties and the Company began recognizing the property operating results in its financial results effective February 1, 2008. The agreement included a termination fee of $5.8 million with an additional $0.2 million termination fee if certain criteria of the agreement are not met.

The Place Portfolio produced net operating income of $0.7 million for the third quarter of 2008 on student housing leasing revenue of $4.9 million and operating expenses of $4.2 million. The net operating income for the third quarter 2008 represents a $2.8 million or $0.10 per share/unit decline from the $3.5 million of lease revenue received under the lease agreement with Place in the third quarter of 2007. The Company negotiated the lease termination fee in part to offset the expected shortfall in operating results of the properties. Over time, the Company expects to be able to improve the operating results of the Place Portfolio through revenue growth driven by improved marketing and customer service strategies.

Development Activity

The Company’s wholly-owned student community, The Reserve at Saluki Point, at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois, opened in August 2008 on time and 100% leased. The second phase of the project at this location has begun and is scheduled for a 2009 opening. The Company also began construction on its first on-campus owned development at Syracuse University, which is scheduled to open in 2009.

The Company’s development subsidiary, Allen & O’Hara Development Company (AODC), continued work on the recently awarded $15.6 million, 253 bed project at Colorado State University at Pueblo and received a commitment from the University’s foundation to add two additional buildings, bring the total number of beds being developed to 761. AODC was also awarded a 596 bed phase four project at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Subsequent to the end of the quarter AODC was awarded a new multi-phase project at East Stroudsburg University in Pennsylvania.

Capital Structure

The Company had $18.6 million outstanding on its $100 million credit facility an increase of $7.1 million from year end, and cash and cash equivalents totaling $2.8 million at September 30, 2008. Total debt outstanding at September 30, 2008, excluding unamortized debt premiums, was $446.3 million with 93.8% of the Company’s debt at fixed rates. At the end of the quarter, the Company’s combined outstanding common stock and partnership units totaled 29.6 million. The Company has approximately $285 million of mortgage debt due to mature in July and December of 2009. Management is currently engaged in negotiating replacement financing for these debt maturities.

Subsequent Events

The Company received notice of termination related to the management of a five property portfolio in Michigan. The owner had chosen to take management in-house and terminated the management agreement with the Company effective October 8, 2008.

Dividend

On October 7, 2008, the Company declared its third quarter dividend of $0.205 per share/unit, which is payable on November 17, 2008, to holders of record as of the close of business on October 31, 2008.

Earnings Guidance and Outlook

Based on the Company’s current estimates and leasing trends, it has adjusted its full year FFO per share/unit guidance for 2008. The Company now expects FFO per share/unit to be in the range of $0.94 to $0.97 for the year ending December 31, 2008. This compares to its previous FFO per share/unit range of $1.00 to $1.02. This guidance includes lower anticipated student housing leasing revenue as a result of isolated weak leasing markets and a continued trend of higher operating expenses at its communities.

Notes:

(1) - Funds from operations (FFO) per weighted average share/unit was computed using the weighted average of all shares and partnership units outstanding, regardless of their dilutive impact.

FFO is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for EDR. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rate, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income.

For a definition of FFO and a statement by management regarding the reasons for and significance of reporting FFO as a measure of performance, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the EDR annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
