No, these are two different things.
Commuter colleges are meant to be that way....there is not enough housing available to accomodate the majority of the student body. The majority of students go home at the end of the day, they don't live in dorms or apartments near the college.
Suitcase colleges have ample housing on and off campus (near the school) for students to live there during the week. They just go to their hometowns on weekends because (in their perception) there is nothing to keep them around.
"Suitcase college" has a negative connotation. "Commuter college" does not and should not.
