For every college of interest, I checked % on campus (easily available on Peterson website). Some colleges, especially state school, have only 25-30% on campus residents. I also checked the policies… some colleges guarantee dorm/apartment availability on campus. Others have lotteries etc.



I’d just like to point out that this can mean different things. A commuter school where the majority of students live at home is hugely different from a college town atmosphere where the majority of students rent housing in student ghettos near the campus. I attended a good OOS school where most students lived off campus by junior year, but it certainly felt little different from a big school with spread out university housing around campus.
