<p>That’s weird. Any idea about why that was?</p>
<p>One comment, typically prestigious schools would have fewer commuters than other schools because prestigious schools will draw students from all over the country while non-prestigious schools will mostly just draw students from the area. </p>
<p>Also, when looking at percentage of freshman living in dorms, I think that is one of the two important measures. You should also look at what percent of graduates transferred into the school. A transfer student is more likely to be from the area and commute than a freshman admit.</p>
<p>Also, in terms of the radius around the school where people will commute from, I think the smallest circle such that X population lives within the area is a more sensible measure than miles or driving time. People in rural areas are more accustomed to commuting far distances than people in urban areas.</p>
