High Point or Seton Hall?

High Point may have the edge socially as Seton Hall has a fair percentage of commuters.

According to College Navigator, most Seton Hall students (65%) are New Jersey residents. And since Seton Hall is located in the most populated part of a geographically small state, most of those NJ students probably live within commuting distance of the campus. In this situation, you might expect a large percentage of the student body to go home on nights and weekends. In general, the social scene at a campus tends to suffer if there are large numbers of commuters.

At High Point, most of the students (80%) come from outside North Carolina (either from other states or foreign countries). You can reasonably assume that they are sticking around the campus on nights and weekends, because it’s too far to go home. So it’s probably more of a traditional residential college experience, with better social life.
