Services for
Commuting Students |
| |
| The Coordinator,
Veronica Carter
(617-627-3158),
works closely with
undergraduate commuters to provide information, programs, and support.
Commuters are urged to get involved in the mainstream of campus social
life. They are encouraged to attend residence hall
events and
residential students are urged to also attend events at Hillside House, the
commuter center. In addition, Tufts offers a number of resources to make
commuter life a little easier. |

Off-Hill Council |
 |
|
Founded in 1963, the Off-Hill Council
is the campus organization for commuters. The council coordinates
academic, athletic, and other special activities for both commuting
and residential students.

Hillside House |
|
|
| Hillside House, located at 32 Dearborn
Road in Somerville and is staffed by two resident
Co-Managers, is the headquarters of the Off-Hill Council and
the center of undergraduate commuter life. Meetings are held at the
house. Please check with Co-Managers for dates and
times.The fifteen-room house has facilities
for studying, cooking, recreation, programming, and occasional
overnight stays. Please contact
Veronica Carter
for information about overnight stays. It serves as a gathering place for undergraduate
commuters both day and night and is probably the best location for
keeping notebooks and belongings between classes or for studying with
a friend. Hillside House is open
whenever school is in session and everyone is welcome. |

Eating on Campus |
|
|
|
Most commuters eat their meals at
Hillside House or at the Mayer Campus Center. Hillside House
offers refrigerator space and cooking facilities, while cold
beverages are available from vending machines. The Mayer
Campus Center can provide complete cafeteria-style meals or
supplement a meal brought from home. If you bring a lunch,
there are plenty of good locations to eat outdoors in good
weather. |

|
Commuter Meal Plan |
|
|
| The dining halls offer an
extraordinary opportunity to socialize and become better acquainted
with campus life. Although few commuters eat exclusively in the dining
halls, there are alternative meal plans for nonresidents available
through Tufts Dining Services. Please contact
Dining Services at 89
Curtis Street to discuss your meal plan. |
