Commuting students enrolled in colleges and universities outnumber their residential counterparts by about three to one. Studies and surveys reveal that the expectations of commuting students are modest and convential. Often they can be satisfied without a great capital investment, by reallocating existing resources, renovating space and making cosmetic changes, and rescheduling some activities. Specifically what commuting students say they need most are the following: study areas, meeting and eating places, lounge space, places to sleep (especially at examination time), parking spaces, transportation between buildings and to public transit lines, lockers, recreational areas with equipment, child care centers, and information and message centers. Examples are given of activities and facilities related to providing services for nonresidents that a number of colleges and universities are providing. Information sources are supplied for the programs described. (Author/MLF)
