OP- I think you need to have housing requirements much lower on your priorities list.

I’m not so sure. We tend to respect the preferences of kids who want to live on campus all four years. I have actually steered some students on CC away from my alma mater (Cornell), even though it might otherwise have been suitable for them, because it only guarantees housing for freshmen and sophomores.

If we respect the preferences of the kids who want to live in the dorms throughout college, maybe we should respect the preferences of those who want to live off-campus throughout college.
