I went to Purdue, a land-grant University in Indiana. When I was there the school had over 30,000 students and housing for about 1/3 of that. They can most certainly afford the land to build more housing, but the demand is not there[1]. Other schools have to require underclassmen to live on campus to fill their housing -- which is often more expensive than living off campus. 1: Housing was provided based on seniority; older students got first pick, yet the housing was overwhelmingly occupied by freshmen.
