Back when I was a regional officer, one of my chapters was at a commuter school. Their students, on the whole, were much more mature than at the traditional campuses. "Mature," meaning not necessarily older, but most of them held part-time jobs, some full-time, many were paying for most if not all of their own college.

Agreed. I just went back to school full-time for an advanced degree, thinking I'd be an old lady, and I'm shocked that isn't the case. Without knowing her campus, none of use can know if most chapters are full of 18-year-olds, or if non-traditional students are the norm.
