Commuter Students

Even if you don’t live on campus, Bethel is still your home.

Whether you’re driving from across town or just a few miles away, Bethel is your community. Commuter students are a vital part of campus life—with access to the same support, services, and opportunities as students who live on campus. From orientation and lockers to worship and community events, you'll find everything you need to stay connected.
