I just reread my last post, and it is practically incomprehensible - I usually proofread.

I can speak somewhat for my D. She doesn’t post here. Her wish would be for everyone else to live on campus, rather than that she live off campus. She likes the convenience of living on campus. She does see her friends who live off campus. They have meals together and go to UREC together for example. Again, her experience is different as a music major since the music kids tend to hang out together all the time and spend lots more time on campus generally. They don’t just come in, go the class, and go back home.

She will be in one of the mid range townhome complexes next year - no pool, no gym, no tanning. She didn’t care about those things and I didn’t want to pay for them. It is on the bus route, and is not one of the big party complexes. It will still be more expensive than on campus, but pretty close if she is able to sublet for the summer.
