[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our family is narrowing the list of reach/match schools, and as part of this process, we are closely reading about the details of 'student life.'

It had someone escaped our attention that DS's #1 and #3 choices require students to live in on campus, in assigned housing, for 3 and 4 years, respectively. One of these schools goes on and on about how nobody is likely to get an exemption from that rule (unless you're married with kids, significant ADA issue that can't be accommodated, etc.).  What the hell?

On a whim I went down his 'Maybe list' of 15 schools and I see that the 3 year requirement is not a rarity.  The notable exceptions are giant state schools and/or California schools.   Why would a university mandate that their [b]22, 23 yr old students [/b]live in little dorm rooms, potentially with a roommate, and have curfews, alcohol bans, visitor limits and so on?   Not to mention limits on having a pet, having a car, and more.[/quote]
