Category: Residence and Transportation
If your student will live at home and commute to school, remind yourself that college is not an extension of high school. Courses are more demanding and require more hours of preparation outside of class time. Involvement in a variety of campus activities is essential if your commuting student is going to derive the full benefit of an undergraduate education. Make a conscious effort to limit the domestic responsibilities of your student in the home and support their full participation in University life.
There are many transportation options for commuter students, including personal vehicles and public transportation. More information on parking and commute options can be found on the Campus Safety website.
