Still a home away from home

30%

of Carthage undergraduate students commute to campus.

About 30 percent of Carthage undergraduate students commute to campus, instead of living in the residence halls. While Carthage does have a four-year residency requirement, undergraduate students who live with their parents/legal guardians within 30 driving miles of Carthage may commute to campus. Being a commuter doesn’t mean you can’t get the full college experience.
