(3) Summary 
This article discusses the stress that commuting causes to students when compared to those that live on campus. I also mentions the different ways in which different students cope with the stress and with the decision of commuting and still be able to fulfill their other responsibilities.  Lastly, it shows that students who commute have different perspectives than those who commute when faced with the same issue because their enviroment influences their thinking and their mindset.

Dr. John J. Newbold, a marketing professor at Sam Houston University in Tennessee. He also wrote, Commuter Students: Involvement and Identification with an institution of higher education. 

(5) Key terms

Stressor: an activity, situation, person, etc. that may cause emotional anxiety or stress on an individual. Stressors could be family, friends, work, or/and adapting to the commuter lifestyle. 

 interrelationship: factors in a commuter’s life that connect with each another at multiple times. The stress  in a commuter’s life are interrelated therefore time management is needed in order to fulfill all responsibilities. However, time management is not a skill that every commuter might have. 

(6) Quotes 

“Academic stresses for commuter students include being capable of coping at a higher education level, time management, and study skills with additional concerns centered on coping with existing responsibilities and with the added study tasks (Barron & D’Annunzio-Green, 2009).” Page 81

“Students who look positively on the openness of administration tend to be more satisfied with the campus environment (Nicolson & Bess, 1997). Commuter students have stronger relationships with administrators and place a greater value on faculty interaction than their non-commuting equivalents (Newbold et al., 2010).” Page 84
(7) Value
        This article is important for my research paper because it explores the effects that commuting causes on students. It also mentions the differences between living on campus and commuting which helps to compare and contrast the pros and cons. It is very important to know both sides of the student and trying to understand why some students are able to take a decision while others have no choice but to commute while working and having more responsibilities.

For this course I will be doing research on those students who commute to school. I have been commuting for the past year and a half and I can see how different life is for those students who are still living on campus. I will explore the reasons why students decide to commute, the impact in their social life and in their academics. 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.

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&#

3 academic sources  1.  Source: O'Toole, D., Peterson, S. and Wetzel, J.N. 1999. “Factors Affecting Student Retention Probabilities: A Case Study.” Journal of Economics and Finance 23 no. 1: 45-55.      - this first academic source is based about those students who live off campus and at the same time have obligations like a full or part time job. These jobs help the students pay off their tuition bill or to pay for their bills, food, and necessities. This article is helpful because it demonstrates the challenges that those students who are not living on campus have to deal with and how the time that they use to work can affect their academics. 2.
