Skip Stop Commuter Organization

Barnard College’s student organization for commuters was named after the now-defunct # 9 train (a.k.a. skip stop) which used to stop at 116th Street and Broadway. This group provides services to support commuter life at Barnard. Skip Stop hosts breakfasts, lunches, and snack breaks periodically in the Commuter Lounge. Please feel free to stop by the Skip Stop Lounge,. Skip Stop Officers are elected on a yearly basis, each spring semester. The Officer Board is responsible for planning and implementing programs for the commuter community and oversees the use of the Commuter Lounge.

Students may request access to the commuter lounge by emailing campusaccess@barnard.edu

Non-Residential Student Support & Off Campus Housing

The College offers continuous support of non-residential and commuter students via community engagement opportunities, informational sessions on renting in New York City, and collaborations with campus and community partners. There is a dedicated Community Director available to support non-residential students as they acclimate to independent living and understanding campus resources. Students may email offcampus@barnard.edu for additional information. The College maintains a off-campus housing webpage that include resources to help you navigate looking for off-campus housing.
