[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS has a 3.2 gpa at a "W" high school. SATs are about 1050 but he is retaking them in Nov and hopefully will bump above 1100. School counselor said it is unlikely that he would get into UMCP, and not even very likely he'd get into UMBC but he stands more of a chance there. State schools like Salisbury and Frostburg don't appeal to him that much because of the rural settings. He will also apply to Towson. But my question is whether UMBC is mostly a commuter college, or do a good percentage of students live on campus or in off campus apartments. It is hard to get a sense from the stats since a large number of students may live in off campus apartments so the stats on students living in dorms would not accurately reflect how many live at college vs at home.  TIA. [/quote]

I work with a lot of people who recently graduated from UMBC.  It's definitely still a commuter school, but it's slowly getting better.  The kids that went there received a good education, but really didn't have the typical college experience.[/quote]
