3) This was a study done by a few PHD professoar and a MBA student from Saginaw Valley State University in which their aim was to find the relationship between distance from Campus and GPA of Commuter Students. Using a sample size of 403 students from Saginaw Valley University, the study found that there is a negative relationship between distance from campus and gpa. So, as the distance from campus increases, the gpa decreases.

Key Terms:

Student Integration Model: The capability of students adapting to the schools's people, processes and teaching are directly influenced by their engagement level. The engagement level is dependent of the whether students live on campus or commute.

Life Centered Students:Those students who are more focused on what they want out of life and their future success. They are more about the process.

6) Quotes:

-"The negative relationship between distance and OGPA in the model explains that as commuting distance increases, a student’s OGPA is likely to drop while all other factors in the model remain constant." pg 42

-"However, the distance squared variable is significant at the 1 percent level and positively enters into the equation. This means, OGPA is likely to increase for commuter students who have to travel a significant distance every day in order to attend classes. We have found that increasing travelling distance is related to students’ OGPA. It may be that students who have to drive significant distance for classes are aware of the sacrifice they are making and want to make that sacrifice count by doing well academically." pg 42

-"Their results indicated that living on campus was related to gains in social and personal competence. That enhanced level of competence may help students living on campus to be more successful in their courses." pg 39

7) Value

The research shows, through data and statistical analysis, that there is a negative relationship between distance and GPA. As you increase distance from campus, the students GPA drops. However, it also shows that if the distance is really big, that there is no negative impact on GPA, as those who travel long distances know the sacrifice they are making, thus become more committed.
