it's actually not that unusual to require student to live in residence. We require students to live in the halls freshman year. They're allowed to move to the Greek houses sophomore houses, but if not there, then they have to stay in residence. After that, they can move out, but most stay.
Amherst College requires all its students to stay on campus all four years. Harvard doesn't require its students to, but they have room- 87% stay on campus all four years.
On the flip side, a lot of Mass. state colleges only have room for a very small percentage of their students. UMass Dartmouth has 8000+ students, but only room for 1000 in the dorms- Bridgewater State has 12,000 students, room for about 2000 in the dorms- and local zoning in both places forbids Greek housing.
