I live in a small city (~106k people) and the nearest university has quadruple occupancy dorms, with no kitchens, that cost $1200/mo. Apartments in this city are still (barely) under $1000/mo, except the university is in about as remote of a location as you can get in this city. An expensive Sodexo meal plan is required by the school if you live in the dorms.

Oh and in order to avoid competing with the landlords who would rent apartments for cheaper universities started to mandate that freshmen and sophomores must live on campus.
