The importance of on line courses.

Is a commuter school one where the majority don’t live within walking distance to class?

. . . Louisiana offers 3273 beds on campus . . .

And now with room for more dorm/appt space. Allied Health complex. Hmmm.

By definition, yes. But the term has become so convoluted its lost it meaning. Modern student do not wanna live in dorm and with kids getting their own vehicles younger, most chose to live further away from campus. The majority of LSU students live off campus but I wouldn't consider it a commuter school.

Schools like Georgia would use the term to try and denigrate Georgia Tech. Even though GT is a more prestigious academic University. Florida, being a blue blood, would say UCF and USF were commuter schools but you can argue that South Florida has better academics and UCF has pretty good student involvement. USC and UCLA are both urban Universities where most of their students live away from campus but no one considers them commuter schools either.

LSU counts them. They count people who are showing up for certificate classes.

Separation…

A train track divides the campus in two. Is that the separation they're always talking about?
