Tips for Parents of Commuters
Students commute from various distances for several reasons. Some students may live at home for financial reasons while others may move across the street from their parents just to have their own place. Whatever the reason, it does not change the fact that a commuter student’s life is much different from that of a student who lives on campus.

Having Difficult Conversations
Though you and your student may have already discussed your expectations for responsible decision-making, we encourage you to make this an ongoing and evolving dialogue. A different environment combined with a newfound independence in college may present experiences that will challenge your student’s attitudes and values with respect to a myriad of issues including alcohol, drugs, academic expectations, dating, etc.
