The Commuter Life

McDaniel College commuter students are integral members of our campus. Leaders in and out of the classroom, our commuters also find themselves holding jobs on campus and involved with many clubs and organizations — like the Commuter Student Association. We are dedicated to providing you with resources for a rewarding and rich experience as you earn your degree here on the Hill.

Connections: Made

Fostering community, friendships, and involvement among commuter students, the Commuter Student Association (CSA) also provides social opportunities for commuters including cookouts, hot chocolate nights, movie nights, and informal social gatherings. Want to join the CSA? Contact our Office of Student Engagement (OSE) and while you’re at it, check out how they can help you connect with other student organizations, fraternities and sororities, leadership opportunities, weekly events, and so much more.
