No. That’s the quick answer. As an incoming freshman, you will almost undoubtedly be living in on-campus housing. In fact, it’s a requirement of all freshmen; there may be some special exceptions, but for most of you, you’ll have to accept it.However, living on campus is not that bad: almost everywhere you need to go is within walking distance (walking distance ≤ one mile). From the Shoeboxes to the Watt Center or Daniel Hall, it only takes about eight minutes to walk.
