I think Freshman have to live on-campus or in "off campus contracted housing"

They have a list online of what the approved housing is off campus that includes places like the Riviera and King Henry. I haven't heard which complexes are best for first year freshmen now that the BYU approved housing requirement isn't required for all students.

Haven't they owned Riviera for a long time?

Riviera is for continuing students. Not freshmen.

They only allow students who are 19+ to live there
