What a Stealth Dorm Is (Austin: living, garages, housing)

[cBach]

Ball State requires all unmarried students (or students without children) to live on campus.

Trinity University requires ALL unmarried students to live on campus until Junior year.
George Washington University requires all students up to Junior year.
Georgetown freshman and sophmore years are required.
University of Denver - freshman and sophomore required.
Loyola University - freshman and sophomore required.

The list goes on and on.

So no colleges (except the service academies) require ALL students to live on campus, right?

From the Ball State website:

The more than 7,550 students who live on campus can’t be wrong—residence life is great at Ball State. About 40 percent of our on-campus student body chooses to live in one of our 31 residence halls or two apartment complexes, even if “home” is fairly nearby.

The rest are private schools with tuition bills in the $40K/yr. range, and student bodies that are a fraction the size of UT. Hardly analogous to the second largest undergraduate enrollment university in the country. All your "solution" would do, is drive up the cost of a UT education, and deny attendance to even more - at a time when the need is exactly the opposite. And why?

So again, no large public university requires ALL students to live on campus. Interesting.

Right, see my finished post. I had to leave the computer for a bit.

Imagine if UT required up to Junior year like the colleges I mentioned. It would increase cohesiveness on campus and all problems would be solved with respect to the original problem. All here would agree that the MF issue would disappear.

None of which are a large public university. Isn't it telling at all that literally no large public university requires this?

And where do you think the juniors, seniors, and grad students would live?

I hear Hyde Park is open to such a development

Why not Hyde Park?
It's in close proximity just north of the University, you know.

If nothing else, the University could build a few married student housing dorm/apartments there. Watch what new excuses some of the posters have to come up with in opposition when their current pretextual objections aren't applicable...
