I'm guessing that off-campus housing is either super expensive, or they have landlords who are sticklers and won't rent to anyone with an arrest record.

Well my schools newspaper did a story on what happened which is why my sentenced was lowered from indefinite to 2 semesters. And the majority of the school supported which is why when the case went to the county court my charges were dropped

I took online classes at the university while I lived at home and took classes at the community college just some of the credits don't transfer since class like massage therapy isn't a class most universities offer. If all my credits transferred I would only be one semester behind( that would be the semester I got suspended)

I don't have a car so I either have to live on campus or someplace that has a bus that goes to the school. There is only one place off campus that has a bus and part of my sanctions was exclusion from campus housing but I got that uplifted last month. As for the chapter housing theory, my schools Greek system is relatively new and small so they have yet to build Greek housing.

So people know who you are then. Then it all depends on people's perception of you. Some people will be against you no matter what, so that's something you may have to deal with.
