Commuter students at Saint Xavier University make up well over 50% of the student population. To accommodate the needs of this population, Student Affairs has created the Commuter Services program designed specifically with you in mind!
We are here to answer your questions, relay what is going on at SXU and advocate for you with any concerns you may have as a commuter. Our current headquarters is located in the Student Lounge (L-105) of the Warde Academic Center on the Chicago Campus. Please feel free to stop in to see us or email us!

"My name is Ana Rodriguez and I am a senior majoring in Social Science/Secondary Education. I also work with Public Safety and have another job as a tutor. I was a FOCUS leader this past summer and it was sooo much fun! I like meeting new people and helping in any way I can. I went to John F. Kennedy High School, which is in Chicago. I have lived all my life here in Chicago, but somehow I could still get lost! However, I have figured that getting lost once in a while is okay because we could always turn to someone who will know how to guide us."
