(3) Summary
This journal is based on a research that was conducted at the Saginaw Valley State University. In this research 403 students were studied to find a relationship between the students GPA and the distance that they were commuting from home to their campus. They were trying to find the positive and negative effects between these commuter students. Most of the students were females in this study and they were also interested in those who were commuting and had part time or full time jobs.

" Students who live on-campus, at least during their freshman year, have been shown to be more likely to complete their degrees than those who live off-campus. students who are commuters may have more demand on their time and may have fewer opportunities to develop a strong commitment to their studies and university" (page 1)
"wether or not student progress through their college careers can depend upon influences such as their social lives, financial and family support, academic commitment and employment" (page 2.)
"Many of these students are also more likely to be first-generation-in college students who may be less well prepared academically than their peers... Students living on campus have a greater access to counselors, advisors, and fellow students when faced with an academic problem." (Page 3)
"When commuter students compare themselves to their peers on campus, they may feel that they are at disadvantage in terms of skill development. They may also feel that they are not involved in the "life" or the essential activities at the school. This may discourage these students and influence their commitment to continue their education" (page 3)
(7) Value
This Journal is valuable because the information that it contains is based on a research. The information gathered is important for my research since it includes the benefits and the negatives from commuting. This journal has connected the overall students performance with the distance that they must travel to get to school. The GPA is what usually defines how a student did in his or her 4 years of college. Therefore, the information obtained will be valuable for my own research and knowledge.
