[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's weird that it's a requirement. I couldn't imagine living on campus my senior year of college.  I agree it's a red flag.  You aren't signing up for boarding school.  This is college.[/quote]

As PP said it is a requirement often to maintain peace with local community.  Same at my undergrad.

I view it as a plus.  If you don't, don't go.

I lived off campus three years.  That was a mistake.  I wish I had done more on campus.  I think I missed something.[/quote]

That's fine.  But living off campus, I finally got to have my own room (in a large shared house with other students) and some privacy. I paid  my own rent which was half the cost of the dorms (no small thing as a student on financial aid with very little parental help).  Not sure what the policies are at these schools, but they usually require students to have roommates.  I was giddy having a room to myself, a real kitchen to cook in, and space to have guests.  And save thousands of dollars.  Plus we had the best parties -- not possible to do this on campus where I went to school.[/quote]
