The increasing housing insecurity in major American cities has cast a long shadow over university campuses, and it is especially pronounced among commuter students. The skyrocketing cost of housing coupled with the limited availability of affordable options near campuses has compelled many students to seek housing solutions far away from their educational institutions. Among this diverse group of students, a significant segment comprises “super-commuters,” individuals who live off campus and endure grueling commutes, often exceeding 90 minutes1. Recent studies have revealed the alarming prevalence of housing insecurity (43%)2 and homelessness (15%)3 among super-com-muter students, who frequently organize their lives around lengthy commutes, sometimes resorting to sleeping in cars or libraries overnight to cope with the logistical and financial challenges of living and studying4,5.
