A suitcase school is a term used to describe a college or university that is predominantly residential, unlike a commuter school, but where a significant percentage of students go home for the weekend. Suitcase schools tend to be less selective and have a majority of students who live in a close travel radius to the school. Students who dont live close enough to go home every weekend or cannot afford to may find suitcase schools to be a concern. Schools that do not have a large number of students on campus on the weekends may close libraries early and have limited cafeteria service Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. A suitcase school will often have fewer activities or social activities available on the weekend. The term "suitcase school" is used to describe a phenomenon where students leave campus on weekends, and it is not an official designation.
