A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting, including the timeframe for when the analysis was conducted and how a representative sample was reached, if applicable:
Of the total student body, Macalester houses nearly 60% of them on campus – this makes their commuting footprint much smaller. With the College's urban location, parking is a limitation so it is often a better idea to live nearby and bike or walk to campus than it is to drive, as parking is at a premium.
