OldBatesie: -

I have known a couple dozen Brandeis students, alums and faculty members over the course of my adult life, and I have visited Brandeis with 2 of my kids. I do not know of anything about Brandeis that could remotely qualify it as a ‘commuter school’.

It is true that Brandeis does not offer guaranteed four-years of dorm life, and some upperclass students live in apartments in Waltham. However, this is not what is commonly meant by ‘commuter school’. By this measure, Cornell University and the University of Chicago would equally be ‘commuter schools’.

You are completely mistaken about this.
