The Collegium

The word "Collegium" comes from the Latin root meaning "gathering place." It's a "home-away-from-home" for commuters, a place you can call your own.

The Collegium was created...

to provide commuter students with a comfortable, welcoming place to call home between classes. The Commuter Life Team works together to provide an environment that will help you…

Rest…

Come relax and sink into a comfy leather chair, take a nap on our couch with a soft blanket, or curl up with a book by the fire on a chilly winter day.

Grab and economical, fast lunch from our honor bar or store your own meal in the fridge.

You can even enjoy cooking lunch with a friend in our beautiful kitchen, if you’d like.

Work…

We’re wireless, but if you don’t have a computer, you can use one of ours – PCs & Mac available.

Printing is a breeze – run in, check email, print a paper, head to class.

Connect with a friend and study together at one of our study areas.

Connect…

Have some lunch at one of our community family lunches. We also celebrate birthdays monthly.

Meet new friends or bring a guest.

Join a small group for prayer.

Our friendly, helpful staff are here for you.
