For my paper, I want to focus on how commuting affects a student’s social life, academically, and mentally. Therefore, I will demonstrate the pros and cons of commuting while identifying what are the factors that lead students to commute. These are some of the sources that I will be using; Source 1 will be based on the student’s economic status and how many times their financial situation will determine whether they will live on campus or commute. -        http://www.acuho-i.org/Portals/0/doc/res/EisenbergResearchNarrative.pdf  Source 2 will mention the challenges that commuter students face during the years. -        http://education.stateuniversity.com/pages/1875/Commuter-Students.html Source 3 compares and identifies the differences and most importantly the EFFECTS in those students that are commuting and those living on campus. -        https://search.proquest.com/docview/1308043857?pq-origsite=gscholar Source 4 will demonstrate The impact of students&#

Also, I would like to compare who tend to do better in their classes those students that commute or those who live on campus. I am not sure if this is still a broad topic but I find it interesting since I can relate to it.

The amount of financial aid offer is not the same for everyone which makes it hard for many to be able to dorm as an option. Commuting also affects the social life and campus life of students who attend the school. Research suggests that those students who choose to commute and live on campus are more inclined to stick with the friends they have made in high school rather than branching out to meet new people. Those who live on campus seemed to be pushed to a more independent lifestyle, since it is really the first time in which they are placed in a pool of unknown people leading them to have to make new friend
