I tried to have my young group of students live in campus housing, but they were consistently late for class, it was a nightmare. I never really had this problem when they lived in the dorm. (Okay, upon occasion one Sim might drag their feet.) It's dorm all the way for any future kids. I did have my most recent college graduate pursue his degree from home, but then again, he was a very young Teen, who happens to be a genius and managed to graduate early. His parents (having lived on campus as older teens) were very reluctant to expose their thirteen-year-old to the antics of older Sims.
