Commuter Life

Thinking about commuting to campus? Even if you choose not to live here, you will still enjoy a rich, engaging, and exciting college experience – truly, a second home.

Home Away from Home

As a commuter student, you can:

Join our 80+ clubs and organizations
Hold leadership positions on campus and in your academic program
Play for the Pride
Exercise in our Pride Recreation Center
Eat at our campus dining locations
Relax in 3 commuter student lounges
And much more!

Commuter Student Association

The Commuter Student Association (CSA) is a group of student leaders dedicated to assisting commuter students through mentorship, advocacy, programming, outreach, and resource sharing. CSA hosts monthly meetings for commuter students to make connections and discuss community needs.

Commuter Status

To qualify for commuter status, you must live at home with parent(s) or legal guardian(s) and within 25 miles from the university or from your co-op, internship, or student teaching location. If you qualify for commuter status, you are not required to live on campus, but have the opportunity to apply for on-campus housing.
