Mills actively encourages commuting students to become full participants in campus life and take advantage of numerous opportunities to enrich their college experience. Mills provides a variety of special services and opportunities to students who commute to campus. Commuters can make full use of Suzie's Commuter Lounge and consider it their "living room" on campus.

Suzie's Commuter Lounge
Suzie's Commuter Lounge, located in Rothwell Center adjacent to Adams Plaza, provides a great space for the Mills community to come together. The lounge has areas for studying, meeting friends, or holding small gatherings. It also has a pool table, television, and a bulletin board with information about campus events.

Conveniently located nearby are a kitchen, computer room, and lockers designated for commuting students. Commuters may obtain a key to these spaces from Housing Management and Dining Services (HMDS) in Sage Hall, room 138. Proof of current registration is required. Students wishing to use the lockers can make arrangements with the Student Activities office.

Commuting students can purchase Mills Points from HMDS in Sage Hall, room 138. Points may be used at Founders Commons and the Tea Shop.

Commuters may arrange to stay overnight in a guest room for a fee, if space is available. This is particularly useful during midterms and finals, or simply to stay on campus until late in the evening for special events and studying. Guest rooms should be reserved one week in advance through HMDS or by calling 510.430.2127.
