[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“A commuter school, technically defined, is a post-secondary educational institution characterized by a student body [b]predominantly composed of individuals who do not reside in on-campus housing[/b].” [/quote] If you are really looking for colleges where a significant number of students grew up in the area and live with their families (I think what a lot of us have in mind in defining a "commuter school") then this definition falls short. Virginia Tech, for example, has most students living in off-campus housing, but it is in no way what I would call a "commuter school." Really, most big public schools don't have on-campus housing for most students after 1st year. A better gauge, if the school publishes the info, would be the % of FIRST YEAR students who do not reside in on-campus housing.[/quote]
