Baruch as a residential college

My daughter has been looking at tons of colleges in cities from Boston to DC. She’s mostly been looking at schools like BU but she sort of fell in love with Pace because of the location in the Financial District and their information session. I know Baruch’s business program is ranked better but they have very few dorms and I worry if she did Baruch she wouldn’t have the normal college experience of being able to easily get involved and make those freshman friendships and connections. Thoughts? We live close enough that she could commute if absolutely necessary but too far for it to be a great idea.
