Right now, Regent U (where I work) has no dorms. This fall, however, the University opened student apartments, and for the first time in Regent's history, there are undergrads living on campus. (the school started originally as a graduate-level institution) Many of our on-campus students live in the area off-campus and commute. The undergrad program (my department) is relatively new; and the university is in the process of expanding student life and activities available to students. The university is VERY excited about APO taking the steps to become a chapter.
The undergrad program also has a heavy component of online students from across the country - and even from across the world. I recently got an email from an undergrad student who was interested in APO, but she currently is in the military, serving in Germany. I spoke with Judy yesterday, and as of now - there really is no way to give the 'APO-experience' to an online student, so there's no way that this person could be involved. She even suggested that this was an issue that may need to be addressed at Convention....
