<p>It depends, and probably on the size of the state. In my state, CT, not only the directionals but also the flagship, UCONN at Storrs, have a large suitcase contingent since nobody is much more than an hour from home. But Storrs is probably less suitcase than the directionals since there are a greater number of OOS students. </p>
<p>Even at a school like Michigan, which I attended for a year, many of the students were close to Detroit Metro, and might go home on the weekend. </p>
<p>State schools tend to be huge, so it’s probably not about how many leave for the weekend, but does a critical mass stay on the weekend to maintain a lively campus life.</p>
