I know you are an old lawyer sitting in a law library but you must get out more and learn about the world around you. GMU hasn't been a commuter college since 2010 when Carnegie reclassified it as "primarily residential" - freshmen are required to live on campus unless they get a waiver. Please go and visit before making such ignorant comments again, eh?

“At this school, 22% of the students live in college-owned, -operated or -affiliated housing and 78% of students live off campus.”

Seems like you’re the ignoramus, eh?

That 78% includes a large number of sophomores, juniors, and seniors who live in the many off-campus apartments around GMU.

The more telling number is % of FRESHMAN who live off-campus since they have to get a waiver. A PP posted that about a quarter of freshman live off-campus, which means around 75% are not commuters.

Listen to yourself. You admit that over three quarters of the school lives off campus but somehow because the remaining quarter of the school does not, in your mind that means it's not really a commuter school. It is not "telling" that most of the FRESHMEN live on campus. What is telling is that as soon as kids can live off campus, they do live off campus.

It's a commuter school. Get over it. There is a place in the world for such schools. I went to one. I made plenty of friends in my classes even though we did not all live in a dorm together.

DP You can't use the % living on campus to determine if it is a commuter school. My undergrad says less than 30% live on campus but that is because everyone moves to an apt or house a few blocks away after freshman year. Most large public's show 25-30% living on campus for this reason. It is not that hard to understand.

It's not hard to understand that if the overwhelming majority of undergrads live off-campus then it's a commuter school, but you are determined to not understand it.

A majority of undergrada at VT live off campus. Is it a commuter schools? No, there just isn't housing for people past freshman year.

If you are too dumb to understand the difference between Blacksburg and Fairfax, that's on you.

You sound really fun.

50% of the population of Blacksburg is VT students.

Is 50% of the population of Fairfax GMU students?

We do know local kids who have gone there, lived on campus and had terrific outcomes. We also know out of state and international students who were very happy there.

Minus the traffic, this is a great area.
