UAH’s last pre-COVID common data set says that 66% of frosh lived on campus (so probably about a third commuter).
Of course, the reason UAH was built up was probably because, back in those days, most of said staff would not attend or send their kids to the existing public university in the area, AAMU, which also has engineering majors and clearly defined merit scholarships.
