Is resident hall mandatory for freshman?

I am incoming freshman spring 2017, and I wonder if the resident hall is the only option that I have to live on campus.
It really stresses me that I cannot afford that much money for the dorm. I really wish to live on apartment even if it’s far away from campus. Is there anyway that I can figure this out?

There should be information about whether or not freshman are required to live on campus on the university website. If you can’t find it you could email residential life and ask.

Certain exceptions are made for students living at home with parents within a 50 mile radius of campus but that is handled on a case by case basis.
