Going to college as a commuter can be challenging. You may feel you’re missing out on the college experience and the chance to meet new people and find your social circle. But even as a commuter, there are lots of ways to get involved around campus!
•Join a club, team or organization
The best way to stay connected to your campus is by getting involved! Whether it’s joining a sports team, the science club, or a weekend volunteer organization, there are lots of ways to connect with and meet new people, even if you’re not living on campus.
•Take advantage of the facilities
Stay connected with people on campus by dropping by popular student hangouts. The library, student union or campus coffee shops are great places to meet new people and grow your friend base. Some campuses even offer a commuter lounge, so you can connect with others in the same situation.•Spend time with your friends in the residence halls
If you have friends who are living on campus, spend time with them in the residence halls. This will help you meet new people and expand your social circle.•Consider getting an on-campus job
Make new friends and some extra money on the side with a campus job! Instead of just going from class to home, having an on-campus job will help you feel like you’re being more involved in your student community.
•Meet classmates to study after class
Get to know the people in your classes by meeting at the library or a local coffee shop for a study session.•Sign up for newsletters or emails so you can stay informed
One of the hardest things about being a commuter is never feeling like you know what’s going on around campus. Try signing up for a campus newsletter so you’ll get notified about any new events or interesting things going on at your school.•Join Greek Life
If you’re a commuter, joining a fraternity or sorority is a great way to feel involved and form lifelong friendships along the way. You’ll also gain networking connections, academic support and leadership development.
Even if you’re not living on campus, there’s always the possibility of cracking your phone screen due to an accidental drop or having your backpack stolen in the dining hall.
