<p>Here is the exception to the live-on requirement:</p>
<p>“Students may be exempt from the requirement to live in the residence halls while they reside in the principal residence of a parent or legal guardian within the counties of Clarke, Barrow, Jackson, Madison, Oglethorpe, or Oconee. Students desiring this exemption must apply and provide parent or legal guardian endorsement.”</p>
<p>However, as a college administrator, a parent, and a person who began college at 16 myself, I believe so strongly in the importance of living on-campus that my wife and I ruled out any universities for our daughters that couldn’t guarantee housing all four years.</p>
