What's it Like to Commute to SLU?
You don't have to live on campus to have an amazing college experience at Saint Louis University. While most SLU freshmen live in residence halls, everyone has the chance to find lifelong friends and make incredible memories.
Where Do SLU Commuter Students Hang Out?
If you think you'll commute to campus, check out the Commuter Lounge in the Busch Student Center during your visit to SLU. Commuter students hang out between classes, study, watch TV and connect with friends.
"It's really like a huge family," said commuter student Luella. "There really is this vibe in the air. As soon as you come on campus, you really do feel like you are welcomed."
How Do SLU Commuter Students Stay Involved?
Commuter students at Saint Louis University have plans — so you can still literally get a taste of on-campus living — and full access to the Simon Recreation Center. SLU students can also participate in various clubs and activities on campus. Find a group that interests you.
Do SLU Commuter Students Have RAs?
Commuter students at SLU don't have an RA — you'll have a CA! CAs, also known as Commuter Assistants, are upperclassmen who are available if you need help or have questions. They coordinate activities and encourage connections between commuter students.
You can also join the Commuter Student Association, which helps students who don't live on campus remain connected to the larger SLU community
