I have many upper class friends both living on and off campus. Typically students like the freedom and amenities that come with living off campus. Most off campus places are student centered and have pools, free tanning, weightroom, etc. Students usually only go to campus for class, to workout at UREC, go to the library or sometimes eat at the dining hall. It is normal for off campus students to keep a meal plan to grab food between classes.

The benefits of living on campus is that you are close to everything, and you would not have to incur the costs of having a car, and parking is a nightmare. It can be convenient, but like i said it is the norm to live off campus after freshman year.
