Commuter Hangouts

Neighborhood Hangouts

At Liberty, your college experience as a commuter isn’t just about getting to class and getting home—it’s about finding your people along the way. Community matters here, and it’s a vital part of making the most of your time as a student.

That’s why every commuter is part of a Neighborhood: a group of fellow commuters you’ll stick with for the rest of your time at Liberty. Commuter Neighborhoods aren’t based on where you live, but who you get to grow with—people to share life with, celebrate milestones, and navigate college together.

Each Neighborhood is led by a Commuter Coordinator—a student leader here to plan hangouts, check in, and help you stay connected. Whether you’re new to Liberty or just new to off-campus life, your Neighborhood is your anchor.

To check out what your Commuter Coordinator has planned, select your neighborhood below — and come have a blast!
