More and more students are becoming commuter students. While students save money by not living on campus, they spent in some cases much more money on gas and rent. This article looks at how commuter students are on the rise continually. Specifically, this article looks at the years 1960-1980. I dont know how much of this I will use as it isnt totally up to date. But, there are some good points Im sure Ill end up using.

The average commuter students spends about a half hour each direction. This author samples all kinds of different students from freshmen to grad students. I will use this article for a lot of statistics and facts. They seem to be a good source as the data was taken from a large group of different people.

Web. 17 Mar. 2013. This article looks into a lot of the modern challenges of the commuter student and the possibility of building an honors community around just commuter students. It breaks down some of the challenges in getting good grades while being a commuter, such as making every class on time when traffic could be an issue. Some of the characteristics they talked about as far as commuter students in the honors communities included having a network of frequent contacts, having highly motivated and passionate students, and having a sense of the community. The main reason Ill use this article in my paper is for all of the characteristics of commuting students in honors communities. Like I said it talks about how the commute itself affects grades and what characteristics are needed to get the good grades.
