It may also be a strong sign that few young Americans have the money to live in that area with no income for four years. The student admitted to Princeton can get money--financial aid or loans--to apply to food and shelter. The student apparently just hanging out has to have some other source of money. I also wonder whether the libraries and the computer centers have such a laissez-faire attitude.

I highly doubt that. In most college towns, at least until very recently, it was really not difficult to get a college-town-like part-time job that could easily pay for food and a shared room. The point is most people aren't going to do that is if the story is at the end of those 4 years you have no credentials to show for it, and I think more importantly, a primary value of college is the social experience. It would be very difficult to integrate yourself into college life if you were not an admitted student without lying.
