There is a myth that students can only live on campus 2 years, implying that the pool of UVM student candidates for City Council would always be newcomers to the community. In fact, any student can request to live on campus, and if a student who lives on campus were elected to serve Ward 1 or Ward 8 on City Council, they can remain on campus as long as they are a student. It would not be the first time a councilor stayed put to serve where elected. If a student moved and resigned, that would not be a first for Council either. 5 City Councilors have resigned mid-term in the past 7 years.
Up to date figures on campus housing, recently submitted to the Committee on Community Development and Neighborhood Revitalization by Thomas Gustafson, Vice President for University Relations & Administration:
6110 students live in campus housing. "UVM’s juniors and seniors are increasingly interested in living in the Residential Life system. In 2014, 846 juniors and seniors lived in ResLife system housing (this excludes affiliated housing such as Redstone Lofts and Redstone Apartments which are outside of the Residential Life system)."
