COMMUTERS VS. NON -COMMUTERS Lindsay Santiago

Commuter students � Commuter students are identified as students who travel from school to home everyday. I am a commuter and all of us at city tech are commuters.

Non-Commuter students � Non-Commuter students are identified as students who live on campus and don’t need to travel back and forth to school everyday.

Main Question � My main question is: What causes students to be more engaged in school life when they live in dorms, as opposed to commuting every day? ’

My Hypothesis � Students who dorm are more engaged in school life as opposed to commuter students.

My Method � The method I chose to do was to conduct a survey which is a quantitative method. � The survey would be given to noncommuter students and commuter students so that I would be able to see the difference between the two groups.

Survey

My Findings When I was doing research I came to realize that every source had similar findings. � The resources I found all proved my hypothesis that students who dorm are more engaged in school life. � Some of my sources even had their own studies similar to mine and proved that commuter students are just too busy with other things in their lives to be a part of any club or event in school. �

Conclusion � After I realized that I proved my hypothesis, non-commuter students are more engaged in school life, I was satisfied. � If I had to change something it would be the fact that I was not able to do the survey that I made. � Us City Tech students should become more involved in school life, if there’s time.
