To me, this is unacceptable and would be an eliminator, no matter how good the school.

I am encouraging my HS senior to look at schools that will guarantee a minimum of 2 years of housing.

Unfortunately, almost all large state schools will now only guarantee one year. And here's the real problem with that - you have to start looking for off campus housing for your sophomore year in October/ November of your FRESHMAN year. What first year student needs that kind of added pressure?

It's one thing if you've come from a large public high school that sent 100+ kids to the state school, thus you probably already know people that you can share an apartment with. But if you're an OOS student at a school like Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia - what if you haven't really found your people a couple of months into your first year of college? This is quite common.[/quote]
