“I’d just like to point out that this can mean different things.” - Definitely. That % is just a starting point for further research. There are all sorts of variations - we even learned of some schools where off campus apartments were closer to classes than the outlying dorms.

The problem doing an apartment is that you have more stuff. The apartment hassles for students from other states without a car can be mitigated by continuity on leases (either staying in same apartment OR ability to move straight from one to another), renting furnished apartments, and/or helpful roommates with closer families.

Apartment living was a complication that we preferred to be controlled by student preference, not forced at sophomore year. Like most college search factors, it was not a deal breaker. But it was considered.
