commuter students
Drive-in degree-seekers
Commuter students are college or university students who live off campus and travel to attend classes rather than residing in dormitories or campus housing.
The term distinguishes them from residential students and often implies they balance academics with outside responsibilities: Commuter students miss out on some campus social life but save on room and board.
