Students must move after Freshman year?

Our kids went to a U that guaranteed housing for only freshmen year initially; once they got more housing (& by the time our older kid started), they guaranteed for two years & both of my kids used university housing for two years. They actually preferred the apartments they found off-campus after that–it was cheaper & larger while being just as convenient to campus. It was really not as big a deal as it was made out to be. Did NOT hear of any kids who had any difficulty finding decent and safe housing at OK prices if they were willing to have room mates.
