Even renting wasn't an option in St. Louis. Buying enough land to put a house up on (that would hold more than 8 people) was impossible. The townhouses that did exist near campus were privately owned and expensive. The rest of the neighborhood was completely urban (and sometimes frightening) and there was just no land available. The school bought up everything anyway.
