Although the college primarily consists of resident hall students, there are several

students who are commuters. They make up twenty percent of the college's student

body. Commuters are a part of the campus family and are involved in day-to-day ac­

tivities. Sophomore Steve Mater has been commuting for two years and thinks there are

pros and cons in being a commuter. “Commuting has a good side and bad side. The

bad being that I can’t make it to all sport events, activities, and study groups. And the

good is that I always love coming to school because I’m not here to get annoyed by my

friends.” Stephen helps out on Saturday mornings

with a children's hockey class. Being a commuter

allows students to keep up their responsibilities at

home and work as well as take classes. Staying close

to the family is important for some students, and by

commuting they can be college students and still be

close to their families.
