Living on campus during your college years is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. By living in one of Meredith’s residence halls or on-campus apartments, you’ll be more connected to campus life. You’ll make friends that last throughout your college career and beyond. And you’ll create memories that last a lifetime.

Commuter Life

Commuter students make up a large and valuable part of the Meredith student body. Specialized programs, transportation assistance, and other resources, such as the amenity-packed Cate Center, keep our commuter students informed and connected to campus life.
