Commuter Life at Iona University

Iona is committed to ensuring commuter students get the services and resources they need to have a full and successful college experience.

We understand that as a commuter, you probably have obligations off-campus. We want to make it easy for you to balance those obligations with your life as a student.

Meal Plans

So that our commuter students stay nourished and engaged with friends on campus, all commuter students (except seniors) are enrolled in our mandatory, on-campus commuter meal plan. We have great dining options with a wide variety of choices both on and off campus.

We know you have places to go and we'll make getting there easy with our Gael Express, Rideshares, Taxi Services, and on-campus sale of Metro Cards.

Our transportation options will get you where you're going!
