Doesn’t require; guarantees

Syracuse

Northwestern

Notre Dame requires three years in dorms

UCLA - all 4 yrs but you start in a triple room

Tulane now requires three

+1 on privates/LACs. The big state Us are generally all first year only. But you can look into options to stay on campus longer. For example, at VT, you can apply to live in the "Residential College" LLC and that is a 2-year commitment.

CNU

NESCACs (and most smaller private schools) give you 4 years on campus.

Michigan State

Most private universities and LACs require two years in dorms.

Most private schools

Brown

Would love feedback. I would rather look at schools that mandate dorms for at least two years. Seems a lot of schools just have one and then you are on your own. I think my DC would benefit from a few years dorms. DC agrees. TIA
