The can make exceptions to allow students to stay:

> Students who do not have a home to go to, or for whom going home would be unsafe given the circumstances of their home country or homelife.

That exception only specifies students with an "unsafe" home life. It doesn't say anything about students who aren't in danger at home but nevertheless will lose the income from a part time job, access to quiet study areas, good study partners, and many other significant downsides.
