Daemen College : Student Life : Commuting Life
Commuting Life
Commuter students are important members of the Daemen College campus community. Being connected to the campus and taking advantage of various opportunities can enhance your college experience. All students have the same access to clubs, student government, events, concerts, and athletics.
Here are some tips on how to get involved:
Events on Campus
Remember to check the Events page to learn about events on campus. You can even hang out in Wick and checking out the message board.
Get involved in Student Life
Student organizations are not just for resident students! Getting involved with student activities organizations is a great way to meet other students and fellow classmates. You too can become a member of Student Government, the Orientation staff or many of the other leadership opportunities available on campus.
Apply for a Campus Job
Working on campus lets you get to know the campus better and met new people. Spending extra time on campus will help you become more acquainted with the college and the people who work here.
Start a Study Session
Your fellow classmates will be with you on campus from beginning to end. Join your peers at the library or campus lounges and study together. This is a great way to get to meet other classmates you have yet to become friends with.
Visit the Residence Halls
Just because you don’t live here doesn’t mean you can’t visit your friends on campus. Daemen’s overnight visitor policy allows visitors to experience residence life, even if it’s just for a brief stay.
Join an intramurals
Don’t drive home the second classes end. Join an intramural team instead! Daemen offers several intramural teams. To find out more about intramurals view our athletics page.
Don't Leave When Classes Ends
We don't mean stay here forever, but don't rush off campus as soon as your class lets out. Staying an extra fifteen minutes in the lounges, cafes, or hallways means an extra fifteen minutes you can use to talk to classmates or friends. Some commuters don't have the time to stay for late night events but staying for just a few moments longer might be the link you need to feel connected.
It is hard to feel like a true part of your college community when you only stay on campus to attend classes. Getting involved in whatever way you can helps you discover the college experience that is truly your own!
