The University of Louisville’s roots are as a commuter school, but the administration has tried to shift the narrative to a more traditional university feel.
New academic buildings, successful athletic programs and large scholarships make U of L attractive to out-of-state students.
Despite these factors, there are still strong tendencies that make the school feel like a commuter school, especially to out-of-state students who are on campus all the time.
Probably the biggest factor that causes this feeling is the lack of on-campus food options during the weekend.
During the week, all 15 restaurants on the Belknap campus are open, giving students a relatively diverse menu of options to choose from.
