<p>According to <a href=“https://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg05_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=259”>https://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg05_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=259</a> , only 28% of the frosh live in the dorms at CSULB, indicating that most students are local commuters, so living in the dorm may not be as beneficial at CSULB as it would be at more residential schools. Only 7% of students overall live in the dorms, indicating that most residential upperclass students move into other housing in the community.</p>
<p>Also, if you have a relatively convenient commute using a train, that is less annoying than driving on roads with traffic jams that can make commute times more unpredictable.</p>
