A t Temple University, commuter students typically look % like every other college student. They wake up and | go to class but the average commuter has to wake up JL M earlier than most. Once they’re dressed for class and they don’t have enough time to make breakfast so they grab a quick snack and arc on their way out the door. On their route to class, the average commuter spends about thirty minutes travelling whether it’s driving or using SEPTA. Using SEPTA is an essential part of commuter life and we all have our thoughts on the transportation system. However, commuting and living in Philadelphia has been a major contribution to the students’ success at Temple University. “Over there I was an athlete and here I am a regular student. I couldn’t be myself and didn’t have enough time to do what I wanted to do because I was so dedicated to lacrosse,” said Danie-la Wright a criminal justice sophomore student, believes transferring to Temple has enriched her college journey. a roommate to commuter students is unusual for them but the means of living and forming a bond with someone they’ve never met can contribute to their journey at Temple. When commuter students don’t attend events and are not involved in any extracurricular activities, they tend to feel left out. Garcia has considered getting involved as a way to get out of her comfort zone although she was never one to get involved in extracurricular activities when she was in high school. By getting involved on campus, Garcia believes she would feel connected to Temple University. There are a variety of reasons why students commute and oftentimes, there is a disconnect between students who live nearby campus or on-campus with commuter students. Ivory Thomas, a sophomore journalism student, believes a few friendships she has made has been affected by the common stereotype of commuter students. Temple University is vast in its diversity. A large amount of diversity comes from commuter students. Bell Garcia, an undecided sophomore student, from North Philadelphia has been to diverse schools all of her life. She wants to strengthen her love for diversity through meeting new people and participating in future events offered on campus. Commuter students at Temple may feel repentant about not living on campus for the sole purpose of not having a roommate. ‘Sometimes I think you don’t get the full college experience by aot having a roommate and sometimes I wish I had that for the •xperience,” Garcia said. It is out of Garcia’s comfort zone to live with a total stranger vhen she’s used to living with her family. The idea of having Thomas said, “1 feel a certain disconnect from my friends who seem to think I’m farther away than I am when I’m only a phone call away and live ten minutes from campus.” Life as a commuter student for Danicla Wright, Bell Garcia and Ivory Thomas is at times tedious but there are advantages they enjoy better than living on campus. Commuters enjoy saving a lot of money. Although Temple has delicious food options on campus, they like not having to worry about spending money on food because there is food at their home. The life of the commuter student isn’t just about living off-campus. They may not live here but with the use of SEPTA and other means of transportation, they are able to appreciate Philadelphia’s diverse city life and still enjoy all the perks of being a Temple student. 21
