<p>It may take some digging to figure out the proportion of undergraduates who have each of the following living situations:</p>
<p>a. Resident on or near campus, not with family, during the week and weekend.</p>
<p>b. Resident on or near campus, but leave most weekends (“suitcase”).</p>
<p>c. Live with family (“commuter”).</p>
<p>Information in the common data set may give clues, but may not give the complete picture (e.g. someone living on campus may be a “suitcase” student, while someone living off campus may be a non-“suitcase” resident student).</p>
<p>However, someone with severe cost constraints may prioritize cost and academic programs offered over the social scene as it may be affected by the above student characteristics.</p>
