Commuter Lounge
RWU's Commuter Lounge is located on the lower level of the Stonewall IV residence hall and is a space dedicated to RWU commuters. It is located near one of the university’s main commuter parking lots, off Lower Old Ferry Road. It provides commuters a comfortable space to meet students, study, or relax between classes. The space is equipped with a TV, lockers, a computer, full refrigerator, and a microwave.

Global Heritage Hall (Ground floor Starbucks, and spaces throughout building)

Hawks’ Nest, in the Recreation Center

Health Insurance
Access to health care is often a concern of students and parents as students depart for college. We at Roger Williams University are actively involved in the health and well-being of our students. All full-time undergraduate commuter students are eligible to be seen at Health Services. Students who do not confirm enrollment or waive coverage by will be automatically enrolled in the student health insurance plan after the effective date.
Please be aware that no refunds will be issued after the deadline.
