Research Blog #1: Topic Idea

For my research topic idea, I want to look at the direct effects that commuting (living off campus, at home) has on student's academics and also how it affects students' college social experience (which can also have a black lash of indirect effects on the academia as well). I myself am a commuter student so this would be a close-to-home research project for me. I would also like to learn about this topic from an unbiased outside point of view.
