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. |

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. |
