I'm looking at Saint Mary's College of California, and I read that starting in Fall 2026, incoming students will be required to live on campus for both their first and second years . The article claims that students who live on campus earn better grades, finish college sooner, and feel a greater sense of belonging. Is this true? As someone who likes my own space, a two-year requirement feels intense. For current students, is living on campus for two years worth it?
