<p>There’s a community college local to me that has on-campus housing.</p>
<p>All of the Pennsylvania state schools in this tier - [Welcome</a> to the PA State System of Higher Education](<a href=“http://www.passhe.edu/Pages/default.aspx]Welcome”>Home | PA State System of Higher Education) will have a good size suitcase contingent if only because 90% of the students are in-state residents and a good percentage of those live within an hour of the school they are attending. However, I think that freshman are NOT allowed to have cars, so if they are getting rides home, it’s going to take some effort.</p>
<p>What tends to happen, in my experience, is the kids that go to close-by schools go home more often, period. That was the case with my kids private LAC’s too, but because the majority didn’t live close, there were more students on campus on weekends. 90% of the students at my daughters college were from OOS and it was a residential campus so it made sense that there was a lot of activity going on every weekend and that many students stayed there to participate. </p>
<p>What you want to find out is where the majority of the students are from.</p>
