<span id="docs-internal-guid-b82b87ce-c74a-3824-3810-2a685c6c4772"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This paper discusses the impact being a commuter has on GPA when compared to those who live on campus. The paper uses Vincent Tinto’s Student Integration Model as the framework. Academic and Social Integration are key factors in determining whether a student will drop out of school or not. Dropping out of school can be associated with low GPA. Thus, low levels of social and academic integration can cause lower GPA. As written about in the paper, commuter student lack social integration as they rarely spend free time on campus because of prior commitments. This is what causes them to have a lower GPA than those who live on-campus. The paper also analyzed motivation. For those students who commute further distances seem not to have their GPA impacted by the commute. This can very likely be that they are more motivated to their academics and realize their sacrifice. </span></span><br />

3) The study aims to discover the factors related to the student retention rate. The goal was to identify factors that influenced students' commintement to remaining enrolled in college. A lot of factors were identified but the most significant relationship was wether a student was enorlled part time or full time. Guerero found that part time sutdents were 230% more likely to drop out compared to full time students.<br />

Education for Business 85 no. 4: 229-248.<br />
<br />
3) The authors examined the impact of both time spent studying and time spent working on academic performance. Furthermore, motivation and ability was looking further into with respect to study time and its impact on academic performace. As their conclusion, they found out that motivation, a nonability variable, plays a major role in the ability of influence academic performance.<br />

Gail Hudson is a professor of Marketing at Arkansas University. She in interested in research on motivation and student learning.<br />
<br />
5) Performance: Performance is defined as ability x motivation. A student with high ability and low motivation is unlikely to perform well.<br />
<br />
Motivation: The driving force behind someone. It is their motive and why they do what they do. THis is extremely important to Nonis and Hudson in the study<br />

-"These results indicate that the
relationships that college students’
abilities (ACT composite score), motivation
(achievement striving), and
behavior (TSA and TSW) have with
academic performance are more complex
than what individuals believe
them to be."pg 156<br />
<br />
-"TSW did not
directly affect academic performance."-pg 156<br />
<br />
-"The results suggested
that nonability variables like motivation
and study time significantly interact with
ability to influence academic performance.
Contrary to popular belief, the amount of
time spent studying or at work had no
direct influence on academic performance.
The authors also addressed implications
and direction for future research." -pg 151<br />
<br />
7) They found out that GPAs were not directly related to the amount of study time a student was able to commit, instead it was the ability to concentrate that may be a better predictor of performance. Commuter students have more commitments and family obligation and their performance is impacted because of this.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">3) Summary: This paper tries to answer the question of whether commuter students are more disengaged than those living on campus. The study consisted of over 105,000 first year students and fourth year students across 470 different four year colleges. They came to a conclusion that students who live on campus are more engaged overall compared to those who commute.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: 14.666666984558105px; white-space: pre-wrap;">-"</span></span>This means that driving commuters really do
have less contact with their teachers (especially seniors) and do not take advantage of such
opportunities as co-curricular activities, community service, study abroad, internships and so
forth." pg 8<br />
<br />
-"Once again, all the effect sizes associated with significant mean differences are positive,
indicating that residential students reported higher gains than students living off campus."-pg 8<br />
<br />
-"It’s true that students who live on campus are more engaged overall compared with
students who commute"-pg 9<br />
<br />
7) Students who live on campus are more engaged and gain a lot more in personal and social competence, practicalc competence and general education than those who commute. These gains transfer into them doing better in classes and overall getting a better experience at college. So there is a clear advantage in living on campus compared to commuting.<br />

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. </span></div>

Key Terms:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
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.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
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.</div>

6) Quotes:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-"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</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-"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</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-"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</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7) Value</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
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. </div>

It was noted by Bozic that the first years of college are a transitional time in students life and their living arrangements can impact daily living skills, time management and personal accountability on top of their GPA for students who live on campus (Bozic, 2008). On the other hand, living off campus is a challenge because the student might have other obligations for their time which interferes with the student ever find a place to belong (O’Toole, Peterson, Wetzel, 1999). The student integration model was founded by Tinto which assesses the impact of off-campus and on-campus residency. He argues that students who have had the chance to adapt to the norms of the university may feel like they fit in better with the culture, and that sense of fit brings about the sense of belonging which motivates that to finish their degrees.</span></div>

Newbold, Mehta and Forbus analyzed commuter students vs residential students and their academic performance. They found out that commuter students are usually older and come from blue collar families. This brings about the idea of social classes and their success in college.</span></div>

On the other hand, commuter students have lower levels of interaction with faculty and participate less in extra curricular activities. They feel inferior when it comes to their peers in skill development which hinders their educational performance.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Summary: Tinto speaks to the five main factors impacting colleges when it comes to the retention of college students. These five factors are expectation, support, feedback, </span><span style="font-size: 14.666666984558105px; white-space: pre-wrap;">involvment</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and learning. He goes to show how each of these factors play a cruical role in retaining college students.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Author: Vincent Tinto is a Distinguished University Professor at Syracuse University and former chair of the Higher Education Program. He is very well known for his reserach and writing on higher education and learning communities and how they impact student success.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Involvement: In order to retain students, students must feel involved at the university, whether that is with staff or friends. Their graduation depends on the connections they are able to build.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Learning Communities: Registration of courses that enables students to take courses together rather than apart. This enables the material they learn to be applicabe and somehow related to the other classes they are taking.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">-"</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">The more students are academically and socially
involved, the more likely are they to persist and graduate" pg 3</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">-"</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">A wide range of studies in a
variety of settings and for a range of students have confirmed that the more frequently </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">students engage with faculty, staff, and their peers, the more likely, other things being
equally, that they will persist and graduate. Simply put involvement matters" pg 3-4</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">- "</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">Even among students who persist, students who are more involved in learning, especially
with others, learn more and show greater levels of intellectual development" pg 4</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">Value:</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">Tinto talks about how much a key role involvement with faculty and friends plays in staying in college. This is the exact time of involvement commuter students lack overall. They do not have time for this type of involvement because of the other types of obligations they have in order to just go to school. </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Thus, not being involved, plays a major role in their ability to stay in school.</span></div>

<br />
Analyze the different networks coming out of college for students who commuted and those who did not and how those who lived on campus are better set up for success and those who commuted.<br />
<br />
Pros of commuting: Cost saving, privacy, conveince<br />
Pros of Living on campus; personal growth, accessible resources, deep friendship<br />
<br />

1) <span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px;">This report sought to test the hypothesis that living on campus fosters cognitive growth by estimating the relative freshman-year gains in reading comprehension, mathematical reasoning, and critical thinking of resident and commuter students at an urban university. Data were collected from 210 college freshmen students at a large research university in Chicago, of which 170 lived off campus. The study involved a pretest-posttest, quasi-experimental design in which comparison groups (residents versus commuters) were statistically equated on salient fall 1991 precollege variables. The data collected included a precollege survey that gathered information on student demographic characteristics and background data, and the Collegiate Assessment of Academic Proficiency, which assesses selected general skills typically obtained by students in the first 2 years of college. Controlling for precollege cognitive level, academic motivation, age, work responsibility, and extent of enrollment, resident students had significantly larger freshman year gains in critical thinking than did commuters.
