We were so concentrated on our studies and internships/plant trips/interviews etc. that the idea of finding an apartment, keeping it clean, doing our own shopping for toilet paper and light bulbs and such, and general home responsibilities was something we literally couldn't be bothered with.
IIUC, my university-owned chapter house (we didn't have a house then) sleeps about 30 of the 100-member chapter, and every year there are more who want to live in than out, largely for the same reasons. MOST of the others live in dorms. Is this the oddball?

It is difficult to get sophomores to live in, let alone juniors and seniors. To a large degree, this generation has never shared a room, or a bathroom, or a closet. They also want the freedom to have boys spend the night, to host parties, and serve/consume alcohol.
