The 11,000 at UMD include students living in college-owned, operated, or affiliated housing. This includes the Commons, Leonardtowns, and Courtyards. It does not include anyone living off campus in a privately owned apartment or house. Students who reside in the View, Parkside, Knox Towers, and frat houses all live within walking distance to campus, but are not included in those numbers. Technically, you might not want to consider them as “commuters.”

The 3700 at UMBC includes Hillside, Terrace, Walker Avenue, and Westhill apartments. There are 12 privately-owned apartment complexes that are on the shuttle bus route at UMBC that are not included.

Does anyone know if there is published information regarding the number of students who live at home and commute to either UMBC or College Park?
