<p>We live on the very edge of the commuter border for the regional state university from which S1 graduated and S2 is presently attending. I insisted they live on campus. S1, in particular, was in a major that involved a lot of out-of-class activities and there is no way he could have participated in them as a commuter. I was a commuter and feel like I missed out on a lot by not being on campus. I realize it’s not for everybody and some families honestly can’t afford it, but I think students should live on campus if at all possible. </p>
