In the sentence provided, "who purchase parking spots" is a relative clause because it has been introduced by the relative pronoun "who" and it is adding information about the noun "students". Furthermore, "who purchase parking spots" is a defining relative clause because it has not been separated from the rest of the sentence with commas.
