You sound like you don't know what you are talking about. At my residential LAC, we lived in dorms for 4 years. We ate in one cafeteria.  My dorm was  less than 1/2 block from every academic building. When we said we lived on campus, we literally lived on campus.   I saw all of my classmates every day, for nearly every meal. I knew every person in my major really well.  You are living with the people with whom you study. You know many of your professors personally. There are many more opportunities for undergraduate research and idea development.  It's a community in a way that a big state school can't replicate.

I'd say it's a different type of community,and probably one that is less appealing to students who live in a more connected world than it was to students in prior decades.

I"m also skeptical that the opportunities for undergraduate "research and idea development" are necessarily greater.  In many cases, they would be fewer.
