Commuter universities with highest % freshman commuters
FIU ranks #3 in the nation with 77% of their freshmen commuting.
10 Universities With the Most Freshman Commuters - US News and World Report
FAU isn't on this list but if you notice most large commuter campuses are in large cities. That's why I think FAU/Boca Raton transforming to a traditional campus was the right move.

Re: Commuter universities with highest % freshman commuters
According to UF's Common Data Set page for 2011,
"77% of undergraduates live off campus or commute."
Most students live in off-campus rentals and take the RTS bus to campus because there is no parking for students. A number of UF student apartments are close, about 5 minutes from campus, but other ones are easily 15-20 minutes away… the same distance I drove every day to get to FAU.
So, really, what's the big difference?

Re: Commuter universities with highest % freshman commuters
when they take 10 years to build an off ramp, you could have built 5000 units to the east of campus in a year or two. people always went west because it was cheaper, even the people who weren't the stereotypical 'commuter' i know i did and i'm from ny
