My son didn’t notice it, at least in his dorm. He told me he knew some students that went home (very close) for things on Saturday or their parents came by to take them shopping or lunch (mainly freshman year) but many of the students in his dorm lived far away and it wasn’t convenient or desired. Someone else might think differently, but he didn’t see it overall his 3 years there. I also think it wanes as the student acclimates more.
The breakdown for 2012 was

I noticed the last few years the diversity has changed too (for the better)

Students of color: 22.3%
American Indian or Alaskan Native: 0.5%
Asian or Pacific Islander: 7.2%
Black (Non-Hispanic): 7.7%
