Are there some instances where students have to live on campus? I know at East Carolina, for the most part, all freshmen have to live on campus.

All freshmen have to live on campus unless they are: over a certain age, veterans, married, a parent, or living with their parents/guardians. Upperclassmen will also have to live on campus if they choose to be in a Living-Learning community. Not to mention in a college town adding extra people to the apartment race by not filling up housing is going to be a problem,

If you think about it... banning co-ed housing is pretty gay, actually.

Metlife seems to agree with their focus on jobs.

When you can bribe the governor to give you a 90 million dollar kickback it can be an incentive to relocate.

McCrory denies involvement in MetLife incentives :: WRAL.com

On the other hand the 9.4% unemployment rate would suggest otherwise

They need to create an ENVIRONMENT for business growth. Not focus energy on one particular company. The anti-gay, anti-higher education, rednecky attitude of the current group in power is the absolute opposite way to attract business here.

My time in Morrison Dorms would have been pretty boring if it weren't for the co-eds. Politicians need to refocus their energy elsewhere

Morrison is a co-ed DORM but it doesn't have co-ed SUITES (sharing the same bathroom, shower, etc).
