Perhaps - though I've not heard in a long time of another university
(like I'm told is the case in Cambridge and possibly Oxford) that
requires you to be in residence over a specified number of weekends.

Many universities guarantee first years a place in halls, but I don't
think any (other than those two) now enforce it as a requirement.
