Commuter & Off-Campus Student Life

Welcome to Commuter and Off-Campus Student Life at Wentworth Institute of Technology! Our goal is to help students who commute to campus have an engaging and enriching Wentworth experience. The Center for Student Life and departments across campus offer several services, programs, and opportunities for involvement with this goal in mind.
