At our school however, our residence (dorms) only accomodate about 10% of the total undergraduate body at about 2,100. At mid-august there was a waiting list of students equal to that total amount this year. To top it off, there's a .2% vacancy of housing in this city - just brutal.

Freshmen are being required to live in dorms because of an incident that happened about 5 years ago, where a freshman fraternity pledge drank too much during a pledge activity. He had a severe case of alcohol poisoning, didn't get the medical attention he needed until it was too late, and he died.
So the school administration decided that the best way to prevent something like that from happening again, is to keep freshmen on campus, where there are graduate residents to keep an eye on things.
