I think it is. I just moved away from campus 3yrs ago, and there were a ton of people that lived on or around campus. I still think the majority of the students live at home with the parents or are adults continuing thier education, I think that is what classifies us as a commuter school. 40k+ stong I think about 20k may live on or around campus.

If we are a commuter school then so is UF since we surpassed them with the amount of students who live on campus i heard.

And I shake my head when pople mention this when talking about our football program.

And Tampa is a major mentro city ... how many people live in Gainesville & Tallahassee ...

Go BULLS !!!

[smazza]

it is  apparently a real perception

[E.T.]

Mainly because we are a new program that just got football.

Sure that we are very similar to GaTech with students on campus.

To lose the commuter school status, our V.P is basing commuters as people who live more than a mile from campus. At least thats what he said at the RU game.

[USFPDiddy]

This school has definitely gotten away from commuter status.  More younger students go here than when I first showed up, and more and more live nearby.  The only thing that could even remotely make USF a commuter school now is the existence of 4 campuses, and the fact that you need to attend more than 1 to get all the upper levels you need sometimes.

Our perception as a commuter school will slowly fade as more alumni buy season tickets and travel back to tampa to attend games.
