Commuters have a "campus" of their own located on the second floor of the Douglass College Center. Facilities for commuters include a large lounge used for programs and day-to-day informal gatherings with friends, kitchen facilities, and the commuter offices. The commuter coordinator provides assistance with personal, administrative, and academic concerns of commuting students. Upper-class students called "commuter advisers" are assigned to new commuter students to help them adjust to life at Rutgers.
The Commuter Activities Board, elected by the students, plans social events and programs designed specifically for nonresident students. Commuter students also are represented on the student government assembly, the Douglass College Center Governing Board, and the Safety Committee. Assistance in finding off-campus housing is available through the Off-Campus Housing Office in Stonier Hall. Assistance with parking matters is available through the parking office at 26 Mine Street.
