Cal Poly is largely a commuter school, more than 80% of the student body does not live on-campus. And as a Cal State we tend to be more to nontraditional college students (Working parents, part-time degrees, night classes, etc.).

Does anyone thing this is a good or bad thing with respect to events, on-campus activities and involvement? And do you think anything can be done about it?

I personally feel that it takes away from those who are seeking to have "fun" in college, I realize that we go to college to learn, but at the same time, we should also be enjoying the 4+ years we are going to be at Poly. It does appear that the university is trying to make Cal Poly less commuter oriented with the new residential suites and whatnot.

Cheers,
Kai
