[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many issues with finding off-campus housing, lease issues, landlord issues, big PIA and doing it as early as sophomore year was not a plus.

[b]I like the campus camaraderie of schools that require on campus living longer.[/b]   My kid will be attending one with a 3-year requirement. The upperclassmen have more townhouse like on campus accommodations. Sophomores more apartment style and Freshmen traditional dorms.[/quote]

FWIW that kind of requirement can signal economic issues.  My LAC went from a laissez-faire policy to mandating 3 years living on campus (I had moved off after first year).  But the reason wasn't to encourage camaraderie - as the tour guides like to say - it was because the college was in very bad financial shape .... and this was pre-covid. The Board realized it was losing too much money in meal service so made the students live on campus.  Some double rooms became triples.  It was not a good situation and had nothing to do with building camaraderie.[/quote]
