Is there anyway I can get out of living on campus?

College Life

<p>I’m going to be a sophomore</p>

<p>I just read this policy
The College values the educational experiences afforded students
by living in College residence halls. These residential experiences
create opportunities for informal learning through contact with
faculty, staff, and peers. Students in residence benefit from ready
access to opportunities for active involvement in the intellectual,
cultural, and social events and organizations that are a vital part of
campus life. Therefore, all full-time undergraduate students are
required to live on campus to the extent that facilities are available
and utilized, unless they:

  1. will continue to reside with their parent(s) or legal guardian(s);
  2. will continue to reside in their official residence, which is separate
    from that of their parent(s) or legal guardian(s), and at which they had
    resided for at least three consecutive months prior to their acceptance
    of the admissions offer from the College;
  3. are married; or
  4. are twenty-one (21) years of age as of September 1 for fall admission
    or January 1 for spring admission.
    Full-time undergraduate students living in College housing who
    do not fit categories 1 through 4 above may request permission to
    live off campus for the following academic year by submitting a
    Petition to Live Off Campus to the Director of Residence Life and
    Housing or his designee. Generally, requests for permission to live
    off campus will be granted only for students who first enrolled at
    the College (as categorized by the Admissions Office) as:
    • Fall Semester Freshmen and have lived in College Housing for four (4)
    consecutive regular semesters (Fall and Spring);
    • Spring Semester Freshmen and have lived in College Housing for three
    (3) consecutive regular semesters (Fall and Spring);
    • Fall Semester Transfer Students and have lived in College Housing for
    two (2) consecutive regular semesters (Fall and Spring);
    • Spring Semester Transfer students and have lived in College Housing
    for one (1) regular semester (Fall and Spring).</p>

<p>You need to contact the college university and discuss your financial issues. If they will not grant a waiver of the housing requirement, and you cannot afford to attend, you will need to take a leave of absence until your financial situation is better, or transfer to a less expensive place.</p>

<p>I knew a student who got an apartment in his parents’ name but they did not live there. The school never knew.</p>
