Overview

Did you know that over a third of our traditional undergrad students are commuters? Commuter Life at UNW exists to serve commuter students through seeing, supporting, engaging, and connecting them with the greater Northwestern community. The Director of Commuter Life and student team of Commuter Assistants work hard to provide support for students who experience the unique challenges of living off-campus.  Stay up to date by following us on Instagram @unwcommuterlife

    FAQ's


    Ui expand
    titleAs a commuter, am I free to participate in on-campus events and activities? 

    Yes! There are many departments and student groups that have a lot going on throughout the school year.  Commuter students are encouraged to use these events and activities as ways to engage with campus life!  The one exception would be living-space specific programming.  Each dorm hall will at times host events just for those specific students.  But don’t get too bummed, Commuter Life does this too!  We host programming specific to your “living-space” at certain times.

    titleDo I need a parking pass? How do I get it?

    Don't worry about finding a parking spot! Northwestern reserves our best parking for commuters. Park near the academic buildings and residence areas! Read Public Safety’s guidelines for parking and motor vehicle use.  A commuter parking permit allows commuter students to park in general parking lots from 6 a.m. until 1 a.m., seven days a week. 


    Ui expand
    titleDo commuters have a meal plan?

    Because commuters have different meal needs than residents, Northwestern has a unique meal plan for commuting students. In this plan, most commuters are able to purchase three meals each week in our dining center. This is a great way to connect with your Northwestern community. 


    Ui expand
    titleAre there computers and printers available to use on campus?

    Computers in the academic buildings, the library, and residence buildings are available to commuting students allowing you to have full access to your academic files on and off campus. Also, there are various printers around campus available for student use.

    titleIs there a place to put my stuff while I'm on campus during the day?
