Mayor Menino pushed many of Boston's universities in the 90's to build on-campus housing to take pressure off of the residential rental market (and to separate college Boston from professional Boston).  Last I head, Boston U went from 33% on campus housing to 75%, Northeastern went from 25% to about 67% and even colleges like Emerson built dorms and UMass-Boston will be doing the same next year.  BU and Northeastern defiantly have a 'campus' or community feel within the city.  BC, as is is less urban, already had that.  Going to an urban college is vastly different than going to UConn; but, it is still a college experience and those are not commuter schools like Bunker Hill CC.  I've never been to U Houston, do no idea if it is more like an urban college or a community college.  I have been to downtown Houston though and I woud take living in downtown Boston and many other cities over Houston any day.  Downtown Houston clears out faster that Hartford did on non Whaler & Husky night in February back in the '90's.
