About

Commuter Student Life aims to foster community among commuter and off-campus students by providing opportunities for students to engage in conversations and experiences that cross majors, disciplines, and identities.

Commuter Commons

The Commuter Commons, located in UC 119, serves as an on-campus home for entering freshmen and transfer commuter students, and any continuing students who have never lived on campus. This welcoming space is where students can study, get together with other students, or just relax between classes, and provides commuter students with resources they may need while they are on campus. The Commuter Commons student staff manages the space and is available to answer questions about USD and the transition to college.
