<p>Yes, the situation you describe is much like I see around most other college towns and campuses.</p>
<p>I think that this particular campus was really trying to encourage students to live on campus. I have to say, they made it very attractive. I guess my question is, if they can do it, why can’t others?</p>
<p>The answer, I think is, “They can, they just don’t want to. Why should they, when they can squeeze more money out of you by requiring you live on campus and charging through the nose for a tiny little room and a shared bath.”</p>
