Lawrence University has launched a new commuter student program, designed for students in the region who choose to live at home while pursuing a degree.
Through dedicated commuter student resources, participants will have access to:
- A commuter lounge in the Mudd Library with study space, appliances, and a welcoming environment.
- Lockers and storage options for convenience throughout the academic year.
- Targeted engagement opportunities, including commuter‑specific events and a Commuter Welcome during LU Welcome Week.
- Meal plan options tailored to commuter lifestyles, ensuring access to campus dining.
- Transportation and parking resources, along with guest housing options to support involvement in campus activities.
- Safety and academic support services, including the LU Alert system and access to the Center for Academic Success.
The program strengthens Lawrence’s ties to the Fox Cities community and expands opportunities for the region’s students to thrive.
A commuter student is anyone who lives at home, typically with a parent, guardian, or family member, meets Lawrence’s commuter admissions requirements (graduated high school with a 3.8 GPA and lives within 25 miles of campus with a parent, guardian, or family member), and has not applied through Direct Admission.
