<p>I have done a lot of research into colleges that I am very interested in, but many require me to live on campus freshman year... like San Diego State University. Is there any way I could avoid living on campus?? Me and my friends are planning to rent an apartment together slightly off campus...</p>
<p>There is a housing exemption you need to fill out if you plan to live off campus your first year. Information should be on the housing website: <a href=“http://housing.sdsu.edu/housing/exemption.aspx”>http://housing.sdsu.edu/housing/exemption.aspx</a></p>
