Rare
Off campus housing at Davidson is fairly rare with only a small percentage of the campus taking advantage. RLO requires that a certain number of students live on campus, and every semester the residences on campus are full. Often the off-campus housing is cheaper, but more distant than the residence halls, and as a result just aren't as popular as on-campus.

Diverse?
Davidson College does have some diversity, although often time diversity seems to be focused on the usual buzzwords of race, sexual orientation, and gender, and economic background is not taken into account. People here are all unique individuals, but often times some groups end up falling in together and don't really break outside of their comfort zones. For example, the S.T.R.I.D.E. program brings minority students onto campus a week early so that they may bond with each other and feel more secure at Davidson. It has led to a rise in the number of minorities who stay all four years here, but often it leads to the STRIDE groups essentially hanging out with each other and not blending with the rest of campus
