Commuting
Gettysburg is pretty bad about commuters- this counts as off-campus housing to them, but with a lot less benefits. Commuters are only allowed to park in the parking lot farthest away from the school, and it is the lot for service vehicles and unpaved. However, the school only charges you $20 for your parking permit rather than the usual $80. Teachers are really bad with commuters, and the amount of group projects and labs makes it difficult if you live more than 15 minutes away.

A Good Mix If You Open Your Eyes
Gettysburg is really good about openness and diversity. We are a huge campus for the LGBTQ community and if you have a problem with any of the various ethnicities or sexual orientations present at G-Burg, you better get over it fast. I have at least 2 or 3 people in every class that are not white. The economic backgrounds vary- I know people there on daddy's dollar and also those (like myself) who are there because the college pays for us to be. The college is a strange mix of Republicans with really left-wing views, but it makes for interesting conversation. The college is Lutheran affiliated and does have some strong religious clubs and programs for those interested, but it also has a lot of other religions and no one will force theirs on you.
