Well, cant you just stay whereever you live when you're at uni? Thats what I'm doing. I live in..I guess you could call it a dorm? Kinda. Its not really connected to the university, but its only students thats allowed to rent rooms here.
I'm currently in the Halls of Residence, which are the flats owned/attached to the University I'm staying at. They
kick us out respectfully ask us to leave at the end of June and the next term (and thus, when people could next stay at them) doesn't start until late September.
Which means everyone living in Halls has to go back home.
They did the same thing to me during my first year. Not that I minded, I did not like most of the people I got stuck with in the dorms.
I believe they do it so they can rent the rooms out over the summer, or at least that was the reason here at Sussex university.
This year I'm living off campus with a bunch of mates, but I'm still going to head home for most of the summer break (despite having this house until early September) to try and get some employment back home. I will miss the freedoms that come with the uni lifestyle, but it's also nice having nutritionally balanced meals cooked for me by a doting mother, as opposed to the usual 'I'm hungry and I can't be arsed to cook anything so I will just eat some crisps' syndrome that I normally develop whilst I'm here
Even so, being home does tend to wear a bit thin after a while. It's strange, back before I left for my first year, I was absolutely bricking myself about being away from my parents and having to look after myself. Now that it's coming up to two years of spending the majority of my time away from home, I find that after a while home starts to feel more like a cage with too many restrictions.
