A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting:
Wells College is a 93% residential campus with most residential buildings on campus or within easy walking distance to campus. There are 5% part-time students, who are not afforded campus housing, so it is assumed that these students drive to campus. Unless approved as a commuter student, 95% of full-time students live in campus-affiliated housing as there are few nearby non-college-affiliated apartments or affordable housing options. There is one off-campus student residential house that - while located a reasonably walkable distance from campus - does not offer a safe, lighted sidewalk to campus, so most student residents there drive or carpool to campus. The second off-campus residential house does offer a sidewalk to campus; most students in that house walk to campus.
