I worry about this aspect of it too. When I was in school, I was in easy driving distance (3 hours) of stable alternative housing at my parent's place. Not everybody has 'stable alternative housing', much less available to them without a huge logistical challenge. No idea what somebody from out of the country is supposed to do when their university throws them out with a week's notice or less. (Particularly after paying tuition, housing costs, and the like.)
