post #8 Case

CASE

A case study was conducted among a group of 472 students and it was correlated with the Tito’s Model of behavior. In this study,  “54%  of  study  respondents  indicated  that  they  did not  care  to engage  in campus  activities.  In  addition,  50%  also indicated  that  they  did not want  to spend  more  time  on  campus…Forty-three  percent  were  satisfied  with the college’s  cultural  programs,  whereas  46%  had  no opinion”  (p.  575).

Forty-eight  percent  of  students  “reported  spending between 1  to 4  hours  on  campus,  and 33%  spent  no  additional  time on  campus  and  were  on  campus  only  during  their scheduled  class  times”  (p.  572-573). This shows that students that commute do not tend to linger around campus or participate in something other than their scheduled classes. “Students  reported  mixed  feelings  about  the  services offered  to  them…more  than one half  had no  opinion  about  the  tutoring  services offered”  (p.  573). As a student I do not take advantage of these services, particularly because when arriving to tutoring services, it tends to be full with students and I am only able to stay for a certain period of time, I am not able to wait around which affects my ability to receive the services.

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/do...

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.

(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.  (4) Author Dr. John J.
