Commuter-in-Residence Program
Try campus living—short-term and on your schedule.
The Commuter-in-Residence Program gives commuter students the chance to experience life in a Canisius residence hall for a short period of time. Whether it’s the start of the semester, finals week, or another time when living on campus would help you succeed, this program makes it possible to enjoy the convenience of campus living without a long-term commitment.
How It Works
- Open to commuter students.
- Stay in a residence hall for up to 14 nights per semester.
- Choose the timing that works best for you (e.g., start of term, mid-semester, finals).
- Housing is available at a flat rate of $40 per night, for up to 14 nights.
- No meal plan is required for participation in the program.
- Housing placement is based on available space at the time of the request.
Why Participate?
- Eliminate your commute during busy or stressful times.
- Focus on academics with the convenience of living close to the library, labs, and study spaces.
