[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the purpose of your post?  If it’s a dealbreaker, he should go elsewhere.  Not sure what the question is. [/quote]

OP here. The purpose is merely to express surprise that this re$idential requirement is as common as it is, even at schools that aren't tiny enrollment rural LACs.  I've a

Sometimes on DCUM people create posts that don't ask for advice.  What happened to this CA family?  $1 million in Brightwood!  APS mask policy contradicts CDC.   And that's ok.

Haha yep. This is the norm at Ivies btw. I went to Harvard. It was a great equalizer actually ( everyone in the dorms and on the meal plan).[/quote]

You believe living on campus at Harvard was a great "equalizer" for you and your other ivy chums, and you're making fun of the OP for their limited world view? SMH.[/quote]

Yes, because rich and poor students lived in the same places. Often with each other. [b]They ate the same food. [/b]It equalized living arrangements. [/quote]
This wasn't my experience at an Ivy at all. The rich students ate out a LOT. I came from a more middle income background and just couldn't keep up. Not equal at all. [/quote]

But can you imagine how worse it would be if they didn't share dorms and meal plans?  At least some of the time you were all eating and living together.  And it may be more true of Harvard which has a strong house system compared to a school where students switch dorms each year etc.[/quote]
