[quote=Anonymous]The only people who need to worry about the downside of commuter schools are people who need dorms to find friends.

Commuter students who do not need to work jobs after class and who have access to transportation can participate in ECs.  Grade the schools by their ECs then.

I agree with the comment above about U of M Dearborn.  Many of those kids are saving up to transfer to Ann Arbor. I also got a strong vibe from my campus tour that it is a place where really smart Muslim girls major in STEM while living at home.  My assumption is that their parents desire that.  U of M Dearborn has a nice campus, they have a student government, they offer some grad degrees, they have engineering project teams...but no dorms.  Only an apartment complex for students down the street.  It would be hard to live there without a car.  But it's a solid regional option.  I actually met a UMBC grad who was getting an Engineering Master's there because he wanted to go into the auto industry.  It's in the same town as Ford's headquarters.[/quote]
