<p>I know some colleges don't allow students to rent out separate apartments rather than staying in dorms, but do any colleges make you live on campus even if you don't do this? </p>
<p>Basically, do any colleges not allow people to commute from home?</p>
<p>Stetson won’t allow you to commute until you have completed 60 credits or have turned 21, which ever comes first.</p>
<p>With the exceptions that immediate family (parents, siblings, grandparents) live in the area, you’re married, or have children who are dependent of you.</p>
<p>Yes, many liberal arts colleges require freshman (and sometimes even sophomores) to live on campus. You’d have to check each college’s website.</p>
<p>Princeton requires all freshmen to live in dorms. That’s because Princeton has a residential college system that encourages bonding and friendship that starts on that crucial first year.</p>
<p>Bryn Mawr requires everyone to live on campus for all four years with only a few rare exceptions.</p>
<p>A lot of colleges require that students live on-campus their freshman year.</p>
<p>I know of a couple private schools that require you to live on campus, but it’s pretty unheard of for public schools.</p>
<p>Pretty sure Cal Poly Pomona (public) requires freshmen to live in the dorms. Kinda funny that there’s freshmen who can’t be accommodated in some cases, tho.</p>
<p>I can’t see them always forcing you to live on campus in a dorm… but I know there are quite a few colleges where it’s required that all freshmen live in the dorms. At least my college is like that. And I know quite a few older students who travel… some from quite a few towns away, because they either still live at home, or have their own place no where near the school.</p>
<p>Cal Poly Pomona only requires freshmen from non-local high schools to live in the residence halls.</p>

<p>San Jose State has a similar policy in that they require freshmen from more than 30 miles away to live in the residence halls unless they are age >= 21, military veterans, married or in a domestic partnership, parents, or require different housing for medical, psychological, or disability reasons.</p>

<p>The vast majority of colleges are commuter schools, not residential. With that said, obviously varies by college.</p>
<p>My school requires that, unless you’re commuting from a family member’s house, you live on campus until you’re a senior by credit standing (88 credits).</p>
<p>My public university requires all freshmen to live on campus.</p>
<p>Furman requires you to live on campus all four years and Wake Forest currently requires you to live on campus for three years, but is moving to require all four years.</p>
<p>All six of the colleges in my hometown allow students to live off-campus all four years, though.</p>
<p>My school requires it unless you are at a sophomore standing or live within something like 60 miles.</p>
<p>Most have a distance that you have to take account. So your perminate address has to be within X amount of miles away from campus. Usually, you have clear this with the Bursars office. Although, if you want to rent an apartment, you can try to get special permission from the Bursar.</p>
<p>Notre Dame requires freshmen to live on campus.</p>
<p>LC requires two years in dorms. Even the apartments on campus are reserved for juniors and seniors. I love campus life, though, so I’ll probably live in dorms or apartments all four years. The surrounding neighborhood is pretty ritzy so it’s hard to find cheap housing within walking distance, we’re at the top of a hill so even though it’s portland, biking is a pain, and I don’t want to deal with a car or public transit because the main roads nearby also get pretty congested</p>
<p>some do. you have to check out your school to see the requirements</p>
