There are thousands of kids who live on campus. I cant recall the exact figure…I think its like 14,000…so I dont think thats exactly a commuter school. Sure some kids will drive there but with 13,999 other kids living there I think that you will have company if you elect to go there and live on campus.
As far as the college town…its not the greatest but its not bad. I mean there are little restaurants and a few stores…its fine. My D. goes into town once a week or so with friends for dinner and has no complaints. No its not say the town of Williamsburg which a student from William and Mary would go too which is drop dead lovely. But its a college town…with the metro a short distance my D. and her friends go into DC for fun also. She LOVES UMDCP!
