"...In terms of living arrangements, 30 percent of all beginning students live on campus,
27 percent live off campus, and 43 percent live with their parents or other relatives.
Most two-year and less-than-two-year institutions do not offer on-campus student
housing. At four-year institutions, almost two-thirds of beginning students live on
campus. Low-income students are far less likely than middle- and upper-income
students to live on campus at four-year institutions (45 percent versus 75 percent).
Many low-income students are older and have their own families; these students
may prefer to remain in their existing homes or apartments, or the institution they
attend may not offer suitable accommodations. Another explanation is that lowincome
students are twice as likely as middle- and upper-income students to
choose to live with their parents. At four-year institutions, 35 percent of low-income
freshmen live with their parents, compared with 16 percent of middle- and upperincome
beginning students. There are many reasons why students might choose
this option, but the cost saving is likely a primary reason for living at home..."
