Because many college students establish the town that they go to school in as their legal residence. Also college campuses are often in central locations with an available site with plenty of parking, square footage, handicap accessibility, and lots of registered voters that makes it convenient.

No, it's a place for liberal adults to exploit the young and naive. It's nothing more than producing bulk votes for their candidates. It's also another great example of why the national voting age needs to be raised. College freshmen straight out of high school have no business voting in our elections. It a big reason for the mess we are in today. Our leaders have been chosen by silly little kids.

No, they should go back to it being only property owners allowed to vote. That will take care of the problem and at the same time allow 18 year olds to vote that are mature enough to do so.

my freshman year i rarely left campus everything i needed was on campus. if you go to any large state school thats a reoccurring theme. a lot of them have their own zip codes, post offices, power plants the whole works. they are pretty much like being a self efficient county. so why they cant have a polling place is beyond me. having 1000s of college students needing to take a bus to vote is beyond me.* having that setup is not fair, puts too much of a hassle on the town.

*i know some idiot is gonna say "well i take a bus to vote too" apples to oranges buddy. a college campus's bus system is a nightmare and would take about an Hr. to go 1 mile off campus. if you need to take a bus to vote odds are the direction of the voting place is to a centralized location. moving someone from a campus to a location off campus is not taking them to a centralized location

anyone who thinks college students shouldnt be allowed to vote is not a true american.

I am sure you think women shouldn't be allowed to vote and blacks votes only count as 3/5th of a vote too, right?

my 3 older siblings all left for college and went to out of state schools. its been 12 years since my oldest sibling left and to this day not one of them went home for more than 2 weeks.

why they should have voted in syracuse and not their current residence while at college is beyond me. odds are that most college students dont go home after school. in fact i think colorado is a fine example that some colleges have large % of their students stay in the local area

No one is saying college students shouldn't be allowed to vote. I am saying the age requirement should be raised. I also like the idea of property ownership. Although I don't know any 18 year old that the first clue, politically speaking.

correction:
An earlier version of this story referenced a study that said 85% of college graduates are returning home to live with their parents. That statistic was picked up by reports in Time Magazine and subsequently in HuffPost. PolitiFact debunked the widely cited number. A Pew study in December 2011 found that "39% of all adults ages 18 to 34 say they either live with their parents now or moved back in temporarily in recent years

always read the entire article.......

the only reason that number is high is because of the economy. those numbers are not accurate of what things were like 15 years ago, or 15 years from now. so why we should change a whole election process based on a one time peak in this statistics is beyond me

I support the right of all 18 year olds to vote. It is the law and it should be the law.

But it's also regrettable because most people have their head up their ass at that age and don't know how society actually works.

you are right and you have the same view as me. yes 18 yr olds are sh.itheads, but they inherit our issues so of course they should have a say in how to fix them
