What an ignorant person you are, OP.

In European and Asian cities, it's the norm for undergrads to live at home, since they can commute to college and save money on expensive rent. Indeed, universities don't have dorms in the American sense. There are living quarters for some students, but never enough for everyone. The students from the countryside are often left to find roommates in the city at large with minimal help from their college.

I hope one day you can understand that your lived experience means squat if you can't open your mind and consider there are other perfectly fine ways to live. It's embarrassing to declare as you did: "Here's what I'm used to and can't fathom people who do things differently". You are saying: "I have no clue how the world works and why people do what they do, so I'll just judge them without any understanding of their situation".

Colleges in the US want kids to sleep on campus so they can bilk you out of room and board, ostensibly to "promote independence and a tighter-knit student body". It's complete bullshit, given that hundreds of thousands of university students in the world don't live like that and do perfectly fine.

It's really important in life to question the rites of passage and traditions themselves, instead of questioning the people who don't adhere to them. The former is critical thinking, the latter is narrow-minded intolerance.
