Commuter Life
Equinox students who prefer to reside at home while participating in the Summer Program may choose to commute. Lunch is provided to all Equinox commuter students in a residence hall dining room.
Commuter students and residents take the same courses and are responsible for the same assignments. Equinox commuter students can be dropped off and picked up at a campus location convenient to their family, or they may take a train or drive to campus themselves and go directly to class.
Activities
Commuter students are invited to participate in study sessions, afternoon activities and in some supervised evening activities with residential students during the week. Equinox commuters may check-in to the residence hall and stay until 9:00 p.m. on weeknights. If staying for dinner, commuter students may purchase a meal voucher for $10.00. For safety and supervision reasons, commuter students must sign out of the residence hall by 9:00 pm on week nights, and are not permitted to join weekend activities.
Daily Schedule
Carpool
For the convenience of its commuter students, CTD provides a carpool list. Please indicate your interest in being included on this list by checking the carpool list box on the Equinox Application for Admission.
Health Services
All Summer Program participants should be covered by a major medical insurance policy. If a student becomes ill, family members are called immediately. In the event that a student does not have medical insurance, families are responsible for any medical fees incurred by their student.
