student we define a commuter as anybody

13
00:00:28,949 --> 00:00:32,070
that lives off campus so it's not just

14
00:00:30,510 --> 00:00:32,460
people that are commuting from out of

15
00:00:32,070 --> 00:00:33,899
town

16
00:00:32,460 --> 00:00:35,700

18
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:39,180
you're a first year and you're living

19
00:00:37,380 --> 00:00:40,680
off campus this year I know it's a bit

20
00:00:39,180 --> 00:00:41,910
disappointing that you can't live in res

21
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,489

25
00:00:47,340 --> 00:00:51,059
off-campus students to connect so you

26
00:00:49,289 --> 00:00:52,980
can still build those friendships from

00:00:51,059 --> 00:00:55,050
afar and one of my favorite events is

28
00:00:52,980 --> 00:00:56,730

29
00:00:55,050 --> 00:00:58,859
