COMMUTERS COMMUTERS VS. NON COMMUTERS COMMUTERS VS. NON- - 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 non- commuter students and commuter students so that I would be able to see the difference between the two groups.

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. Hahaha.
