University of Wyoming eyes requiring more students to live on campus [View all]
University of Wyoming administrators are considering asking the Board of Trustees to revise the schools housing policy to require all incoming freshmen living more than 30 miles outside of Laramie to live on campus.
Currently, students from Cheyenne, Rock River and Medicine Bow are all exempted from UWs freshman dormitory requirement.
Freshmen who plan to live within a 60-mile driving distance of Laramie are not required to live on campus assuming they live with parents, grandparents or legal guardians. Freshmen are also allow to live on campus if they live at property purchased by parents, though the proposed plan by UW administrators would eliminate that exception.
UW trustee John McKinley said the full board of trustees still not reviewed the proposal, but he said some version of the idea is likely to be presented at the boards November meeting.
