Hello,

The Question is not in detail, but the decision to stay in a hostel is a personal choice  that is determined by a number of factors, thus no one is required to do so. Yet, there are few institutions who suggest or make a condition to stay to give Quality Education. It varies on Institution and terms of Colleges.

ALL THE BEST

Hello,

It is not compulsory to opt for a hostel in most colleges. Howver, whether hostel accommodation is compulsory depends on the institution's policy. In many colleges and universities, hostels are mandatory for first-year students to ensure discipline, safety, and better integration into campus life. However, some institutions allow students to opt-out if they live nearby or provide valid reasons.
