The town outlawed fraternity housing by creating a law that no more than 4 unrelated people under the age of 25 could live in a household together. The university responded by creating fraternity specific floors in the residence halls.

Concord University
Concord University is nested in the hills of Athens, West Virginia. The town is .7 square miles, and brings an entirely new definition for "college town."

University of Virginia at Wise
My first visit was at the University of Virginia at Wise. The school has about 2,000 students, of which 750 live on campus.
The drive into town was on switchback turns through the Appalachian Hills, passing many roadside stands with some of the South's finest.
Be careful, the "electrical" devices will catch you.
Since so many students commute to campus, there wasn't a large fraternity presence. I was put up in a mobile home a few miles from campus, and given a room to myself. I'm told this is a luxury.
The campus itself has beautiful architecture, and everything feels new.
