Within this large group of commuter students there are non-traditional student who represent about 15-17% of UMaine undergraduate students .Non-traditional students, have generally chosen to pursue a UMaine degree while already managing many other life roles. Non-traditional students are those who have chosen to come to college several years past their graduation from high school, undergraduates who are 24 years or older, are parents themselves and/or have been through other life circumstances that differentiate them from the traditional path.

All commuters must manage their time and funds so that they can be successful in their academic while maintaining all the other issues involved in living off campus.
