Commuting to Campus

Whether you live on or off campus, you’re part of the 买球app family. Holy Family is renowned for its welcoming and supportive culture and our close-knit community. We are proud to serve as a home-away-from-home for all students, no matter where you choose to live while earning your degree.

Clubs and Sports

You don’t have to live on campus to easily explore new interests or get to know your classmates. Home to dozens of student clubs and organizations, Holy Family invites commuter students to take part in the unique campus traditions and experiences that happen outside of the classroom.

Make your college experience memorable and meaningful by joining—or even leading—one or more of our exciting clubs:

  • Academic and professional organizations
  • Affinity groups
  • Student organizations
  • Club sports
  • Special interest groups

Is there an organization you want to be a member of that does not yet exist? The Student Engagement Office would be happy to help you get that organization started here at HFU! Email SEO@holyfamily.edu and we will get a meeting scheduled to review the process for creating your own Registered Student Organization!

As a commuter student, you also have a Student Government Association representative who can address your concerns. If you want to change something on campus or need to discuss an ongoing issue, contact your SGA representative.
