<p>This is a question pertaining to a student's case this year.</p>
<p>@MegaraGirl-- to my knowledge all first years are required to live in on-campus housing, although I don’t know how often it really comes up that a first year is married and wanting to live off-campus. I have heard that they have made exceptions for students with children in the past, but it really seems to be done on a case-by-case basis. Your best bet would be to speak with someone in the Housing office directly to talk through your options in this situation.</p>
<p>You would really need to speak to the University directly about this. Once you are admitted it is a perfectly reasonable issue to bring up. </p>
<p>For what it is worth, when I was at Chicago a third year transfer without children (yet wed) was required to have a meal plan and attend a certain number of house functions, but otherwise lived in a high rise in Hyde Park. It seemed like a reasonable balance given her husband worked during the day and therefore could not have a late breakfast / lunch with her anyways.</p>
