Naw bruh. I went to a commuter school. Couldn't last 2 weeks before dropping out. Naperville to UIC campus 30 miles but took an hour and half because of rush hour traffic. 40k students and everyone was running to their car at three because you didn't wanna get stuck on the Dan Ryan or the Eisenhower. It's why schools like FiU and Georgia State have these huge enrollment numbers but only 3 thousand show up for football.
You can't say most of our students are "commuting from Abbeville, New Iberia or Opelousas. Some might but most of our students live within a 10 mile radius of campus. Look at all the rent houses in the Saints Street area and all the apartments that have sprung up. Students aren't in Dorms but they're still close to campus. It's on our administration that they aren't involved more
