Where do Sophomores typically live?

My rough sense (vicariously, through my kids and their friends) is consistent with what others have said: Maybe 10-15% of second-years move off campus (and about that percentage of third-years stay ON campus). Also, that transfer students don’t really have a choice where to live. Before this year, for a few years they had all been placed in Stony Island, and this year most were placed there and some in Maclean.

(You may want to note a little quirk of local terminology. Apparently, the University of Chicago does not have any “sophomores”, or “freshmen”, etc., either. It has first- and second-years, and on from there.)
