It’s worth pointing out, too, that having lots of students live off campus in a “college town” around a university encourages local residents to invest in residential and commercial real estate around the campus. That not only enhances the environment for students, it also frees up university capital to be deployed on projects other than residential housing.

I agree, though, that access to a supermarket is pretty important. Most of my kids’ savings from moving off campus came from cooking their own food (which they preferred) vs. meal plans. They didn’t have great food-buying options, but they didn’t have to buy fast food ever.
