commuter student

Lives at home

A commuter student is a college or university student who lives off campus and travels to school for classes rather than residing in dormitories or campus housing.

The term distinguishes them from residential students and often implies different patterns of campus involvement: As a commuter student, she missed out on dorm life but saved thousands on housing.
