Commuter Student Resources

Drexel University, located along the Schuylkill River in University City, is in an urban environment providing easy access to our community and downtown Philadelphia. We advocate for the growing population of students living off-campus and recognize the unique needs of living in the surrounding neighborhoods of the University. The Student Organization Resource Center is dedicated to the support and engagement of these student populations. Regardless of whether you reside two blocks from campus or two hours, our office is committed to supporting your student experience as a Drexel University Dragon. Through a variety of resources and support, we are committed to the Commuter Student Experience at Drexel, including Commuter Student Engagement and Off-Campus Housing.

To further develop a sense of community for our commuter population on campus, the Community Student Association (CSA) develops programs to foster a sense of belonging among commuters, advocates for the needs of the commuter population, and empowers students to educate faculty and staff about the unique needs of commuter students. Because part of becoming a Drexel Dragon involves finding your place on campus and finding out how you can contribute to improving our University, we encourage all commuter students to start their journey at Drexel with CSA.
