University of Anywhere
Voiceover
“Hello, my name is Dora Ghiradelli, commuter student at University of anywhere and do I
have a story for you.
“Here I am, driving onto campus, parking was a nightmare. I ended up in this vacant parking
lot all the way across campus. It was definetly not what I had expected. And then, my bags, so
much to carry around campus. I had my lunch, laptop, gym bag, and my books for the first
day…and oh, my coffee cup (all sarcastically) - But hey, this is only the beginning of a long
journey…... Oh well, off to my first class……”

anyone yet, um, I have all of these bags and I don’t know where to put any of them all day,
like after I go to the gym, and I don’t really have a place to heat up my lunch because I like to
bring it from home.”

Diego: “Well, I can be your friend, and Off Campus Commuter Services can help you with all of
that and more. So let me show you.

At the Off Campus Commuter Services Board

has a bulletin board, as you can see that has postings for clubs and organizations on campus,
and people you can meet.
Dora: “That’s great umm, do any of the clubs and organizations meet during the day at all?
Diego: “Yeah, there are some clubs and organizations that meet during the daytime”
Dora: “Great and what about events or programs on campus. I would really like to come to
some, but I can’t really get here at night because I commute.”
Diego: “No worries, they have all kinds of events and programs during the daytime that you
can attend.”
Dora: “That’s great. Awesome!
Diego: “And you know what? Since you are an Off-Campus Student, we have a guide for
commuter students that you can check it out”
Dora:”Oh, you mean a housing guide?”
Diego: “Yes.”
Dora: “Oh, that’s really great, because my drive today took a really long time, I got stuck in
traffic and it was really stressful. Maybe I can try to find somewhere closer to campus to live.”
Diego: “Perfect”
Dora: “Thank you so much.”
Diego: “You know what, let me show you the kitchen too.”

where I can go ahead and keep my lunch when I am at the gym and at classes, a microwave
so I don’t have to eat my lunch cold, and out there there’s even a bulletin board with
