This was previously posted in another thread, but it really does deserve more prominence, since the subject comes up often, and there are always a few Utes who do not believe the truth.
When we can settle a matter of longstanding dispute in such definitive fashion, we are required to share. And thus I do.

The sample of students completing the National College Health Assessment (NCHA) Survey at the University of Utah differs from the national reference group for the NCHA 2003 in age, employment, residence, and marital status. The purpose of this study is to determine if the defining characteristics of a commuter school increase the risk for suicidal thoughts.

From the body of the article:
Quote:
The University of Utah is the flagship 4-year public uni-
versity in the state of Utah. Because of the unique demo-
graphics of the state of Utah, the student population at the
University of Utah differs significantly from student popula-
tions at similar universities in other states. At the University
of Utah,the mean age is 25 years,whereas the average age of
the reference group is 21 years. Nearly 60% of University of
Utah students work more than 20 hours a week, compared
with 23% of the national reference group. Seventy-four per-
cent of University of Utah students live off campus, com-
pared with 43% of students in the national reference group
who live off campus.

Do we still have any doubts about the phrase "commuter school" being used outside of BYU fans, and that Utah is in fact a commuter school?
LOLz. Stupid Utes.
