Abstract
<p>This Major Research Paper examines the influence of commute satisfaction on campus participation and perceived academic success of post-secondary students as indicators of their well-being. Travel and attitudinal data was analyzed for 1,931 students from Ryerson University in Toronto, Ontario to determine if students perceive their commute to be a barrier to their campus participation and academic success, and if this perception changes with commute satisfaction. A large number of students reported their commute was a barrier to their campus participation and academic success, and binomial logistic regressions revealed a significant positive association between commute satisfaction and these well-being indicators. Travel mode, travel attitudes, student type, and age were found to be statistically significant correlates of commute satisfaction. These findings suggest post-secondary administrators and urban planners can improve student well-being by implementing policies to increase commute satisfaction. Key words: travel satisfaction; subjective well-being; travel mode; post-secondary students; commute</p>
