COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State University's president wants all sophomore students to live in dorms on campus.

President Gordon Gee said studies have shown that students who live on campus graduate quicker, have higher grades, and are happier at school.

Ohio State requires freshmen to live on campus, but students whose families are in the area can live at home.

Under Gee's plan, an additional 6,000 people would live on campus.

School officials say housing for at least 3,500 students would have to be added to accommodate sophomores.

A study on the proposal is to be completed in 12 months.
