![]() Not all commuters have had issues with getting involved on campus, however. I don’t have time to talk to anyone,” said Golden Okolo, current Bowie State commuter. “After having classes all day, I have to drive 35 minutes to work right after. But why does this happen? Most commuters have jobs, forcing them to leave campus with little to no time to interact with others and/or think about getting involved on campus. Attending class and leaving directly after is the norm for a commuter. Consequently, this leads to lack of school pride and raises the question in their minds, “Am I really a Bulldog?”Īlthough Bowie State consists of over 80% commuters, residents are predominately seen at campus events and programs because of the easy accessibility. Most commuters are experiencing Bowie State academically, but not socially. Hour long transportation, too early or too late classes, and expensive meal plans are in no comparison to the difficulty that most Bowie State University commuters face: getting involved on campus.
