Sure, I think it should be opt-in. At ANSEP if you opt in you get a full ride plus internships during the summer.
Totally worth it if your main goal in college is to succeed scholastically, rather than party all the time and get distracted by roommates who are taking different classes with different study needs and might be trying to play beer pong and wrestle till 3am the night before your midterm.

What I mean is, you can opt in to the program, which comes with benefits (like internships and scholarships) and with it come additional requirements (like living with classmates and mandatory study sessions).

You seem to be presuming that the only alternative to a dorm is a fraternity house.

I did the dorm thing, was impossible to study there. My point is if you can set people up for success through a program like that, it should at least be an option to people.
I think that's even more Orwellian. It does sound like just a jail.
