Students who live within commuting distance of Harvard may apply as commuters. If they wish, they may purchase a meal plan, participate in intramural athletics, join the summer musical groups, visit museums, study in the libraries, and take part in trips and social activities organized by the SSP and Activities Office.

WHRB (95.3 FM Cambridge), the campus radio station, is run exclusively by Harvard students out of the basement of Pennypacker Hall, a freshman dorm. Known throughout the Boston metropolitan area for its classical, jazz, underground rock and blues programming, especially its reading period "orgies", when the entire oervre of a particular composer, orchestra, band, or artist is played without commercial break, sometimes for several days in succession, to give the station's DJs a chance to catch up on their studies before the semester's final exams.
