10 National Universities Where Students Usually Live on Campus

The U.S. News Short List, separate from our overall rankings, is a regular series that magnifies individual data points in hopes of providing students and parents a way to find which undergraduate or graduate programs excel or have room to grow in specific areas. Be sure to explore The Short List: College, The Short List: Grad School and The Short List: Online Programs to find data that matter to you in your college or graduate school search.

Many college students plan to spend about $10,000 or more this school year on room and board, according to a report from the College Board, a nonprofit organization that manages standardized tests used for college admissions.

The high price of living on campus can be worth it, though. Impromptu slumber parties and late-night game nights can make living at school a fun, bonding experience. Schools’ policies vary on whether living on campus is required, encouraged or unnecessary, but at some institutions students strongly prefer to live there.

At Harvard University, for example, 99 percent of undergraduates lived on campus in fall 2013. It had the highest percentage of undergraduates at a National University living on campus, according to data submitted to U.S. News by 252 ranked schools. National Universities offer a full range of bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees.
