I certainly don't dispute that - it's borderline criminal what the University-sanctioned housing charges - particularly when they stack up to 5 people in a single unit!
However, in my experience, most students live off-campus these days. There's just not enough student housing, and it's a terrible deal anyhow.
- xvector 8y ago> However, in my experience, most students live off-campus these days. Can you source this statement? I know at UCB there were some students that lived off-campus but the vast majority lived in campus dorms IIRC.
- Alupis 8y agoMy experience is with UC Davis and CSUS, both of which have dramatic shortages of student housing for their over 35,000 student population at each school.
- ryandrake 8y agoMaybe it’s different now, but when I went to university, costly on-campus housing was mandatory up until your 4th (Senior) year.
- aidenn0 8y agoIt varies greatly from school to school. Where I went, they didn't even guarantee housing to Freshmen, where my wife went, first 2 years were mandatory on-campus living.
- amreact 8y agoAt UAH (University of Alabama in Huntsville) they have started requiring first-year students to live in the dorms. Not sure if they require second-year students to.
- LeftTurnSignal 8y agoThey require that here too. If you live in town or within a certain area you can get exempt from it if you're parents sign some papers.
