I have not “maligned” the University of Utah nor SLC. I simply maintain that Utah’s rep is as a commuter school along with many Utah students on social media & in agreement with the Fiske Guide To Colleges 2020.
Only 14% of all undergraduates at the University of Utah live on campus. This makes it a commuter school as SLC is not a college town (such as Athens, Georgia). SLC is a major city in its region of the US.
A commuter college is not synonymous with negative connotations. Just means that the overwhelming majority (86%) of students leave campus at the end of the day.
And certainly, in agreement with eyemgh Utah" is not a typical commuter college."
At this point, this thread has become unnecessarily repetitive.
The University of Utah’s own Common Data Set reports that only 14% of all undergrads live on campus.
P.S. Another thread has been started which notes a quote from the out-going University of Utah President from 2018 which recognizes the University of Utah “As a large commuter campus…”
