Some of my kids’ colleges required students to live in campus freshman year if their home address was a certain distance away. At all of them, singles were hard to come by, medical reasons came first and then upperclassmen. Same goes with on campus apartments, no way freshmen get them. My son commutes to a large public school, finding off campus housing is very challenging, and there are no student complexes or neighborhoods, and most options are in neighboring towns, nothing furnished. At most of them, leases are signed 10+ months in advance.
