Well, if I have to live on campus first year, it’s NYU for me because I can’t afford room and board at Lafayette. However, when I discussed my financial aid package with Lafayette over the phone a few days ago, they told me they based it off of the assumption that I wasn’t going to be staying in the dorms. So I believe that it isn’t a requirement to stay on campus. Honestly, why would I? It’s a 5 minute drive for me, and I could be living comfortably in my father’s renovated basement with my own bed, bathroom, and kitchen. Dorm life isn’t worth the cost if it’s this close.
