<p>I really want a college where everyone lives together for the most part, but it seems most of these schools are very small (under 2,000). Are there any larger residential colleges where more than half lives on campus in dorms? </p>
<p>Ie. Ohio University, 17,000 students, have to live on campus for the first two years.</p>
<p>Any others?</p>
<p>Living in a student neighborhood adjacent to the school is way more fun than living in a dorm. Lots of the best big schools are this way. It still is nothing like a commuter school.</p>
<p>^ Can I get some examples?</p>
<p>UT-Austin is one where the majority does not live on campus, but most live adjacent.</p>
<p>Michigan, Wisconsin, Colorado, Oregon, UNC, North Carolina, Florida Berkeley.</p>
<p>A lot of colleges have special interest residential colleges where people with a similar interest live together.</p>
<p>UCSB......Everyone lives on campus or in Isla Vista which is right next to campus.</p>
<p>WashU...all freshman and most sophomores live on the South 40 (right adjacent to the campus) and its like a lil community filled with everything you can imagine</p>
<p>uconn, cornell</p>
<p>great! any others?</p>
<p>Michigan State is supposed to have the largest on-campus housing system in the country. All the Big 10 schools (except perhaps Minnesota) have huge numbers of students on campus and near campus. The Jesuit colleges (Holy Cross, Boston College, etc.) don't have frats, so they tend to have a lot of on-campus housing.</p>
<p>university of vermont i think requires you to live on campus for the first 2 years, but even when you move off-campus you're basically living on-campus 'cus it's so close</p>
<p>How large is large? Notre Dame has a 2 year residency req., Duke has a 3 yr req., Richmond isn't required after 2 but 92% of students live on campus. Wake also has a high residency rate.</p>
<p>large would be over 5,000 for me personally</p>
<p>well at Colgate there isn't really anyplace to commute * from* and the college I believe is bigger than the town
Probably not as far away from Buffalo as youd like though</p>
<p>colgate is under 3,000 though. too small</p>
<p>The service acadamies you have to live on campus all four years, i beliebe.</p>
<p>Well since you mentioned Ohio University... you would probably like its sister school (VERY similar)</p>
<p>Miami University (Ohio)...public 16,000 students
students live on campus 1st year (i believe this is changing to the first 2 years... there are exceptions to the rule)</p>
<p>Better academics than OU...</p>
<p>Sororities are all housed in dorms as well
MU also offers Univ. owned apartments..for a different option (VERY BIG AND BRAND NEW)..beginning your soph. yr</p>

<p>Students living on campus at Miami: 44%
Students living on campus at OU: 45%</p>
<p>thanks! ive looked at miami...but too snobby for me.</p>
<p>From what I can tell, Miami - snobbiness = Ohio U. Also, aren't both of them amazingly beautiful?</p>
