for most of ASU's history the students were commuters. Up until the last 6-10 years there were very few students that lived on campus relative to the size of the total student population. As such, during their time at the university there was very little connection with the university beyond going to class. In addition, the admins through the years, and including today, do a horrific job in promoting and fostering a welcoming campus spirit among many of the campus organizations. Without any positive attachment, the long term commitment is lost.
