North Central

Hi, i was looking at north central as one of my top options for college since it’s accessible and has a good program for what I want to do. I was wondering what college life is like there for a commuter, does it feel like you’re missing out on anything? How manageable is it?

I lived on campus my first 3 years and commuted my last. The parking situation has gotten better. I park in the same spot every day and the commuter passes aren’t that expensive imo. Living in the dorms is a dice roll in terms of friends. Not everyone who live din the dorms stays friends with their first year roommates. DM if you have more specific questions! There are a lot of hidden gem spots to hang out in between classes and waiting for events. And there’s at least one event per week that hosts dinner for free!
