Commuter Student Services
More Than a Pit Stop
Commuter Student Services makes sure you have a relaxing place on campus.
Did you know that nearly 80% of UW-Green Bay students live off campus and commute? Commuter Student Services makes sure that commuter students feel comfortable and have a place to charge devices, print homework, use a microwave, watch TV or even nap on campus. But you don't have to be a commuter to use our services—any student is welcome!

"I found the [Student Engagement Center] lounge space on a map. I learned they had a kitchenette and couches, and they became my home base when I was in between classes, needed a snack or a nap, or I just wanted to sit down for a little bit."
