Commuter Student Lounges and a Larger Cultural Experience

Commuter Student Lounges and a Larger Cultural Experience

The commuter student and student satisfaction

This study examined the variables associated with student satisfaction on a commuter campus. A sample of 38 classes was used and resulted in 782 undergraduates responding to questionnaires. The variables included were: age, student level, student's grade, perception of educational benefits, and satisfaction with college experience. A causal model was built and tested in order to determine the direct and indirect effects of these variables upon student satisfaction. While the student level had a negative influence upon satisfaction, both age and grade had a moderate effect upon student satisfaction. The perception of educational benefits seemed to be the most critical variable in predicting student satisfaction.

The Commuter Student in Higher Education

The following three articles are grouped to draw attention to commuter students. Commuters often have been overlooked and under-served in the past. These articles reveal a new interest in understanding commuters and developing effective services.

MENTAL HEALTH IN AN URBAN COMMUTER UNIVERSITY.

Introduction Psychiatric problems of college students have been extensively discussed in a number of publications in recent years. 1-4 However, nearly all these publications have dealt with the types of psychopathology seen in students at residential colleges (particularly the ivy league schools). Perhaps nearly half of the four million students in college today attend a commuter school, living at home rather than at the school. The commuter students are a neglected group from the point of view of psychiatric study. The report by the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry on the college student, 5 in 1955, like most books and articles on the college student, was obviously attuned to the needs and problems of the residential student. However, this report did recognize the unique nature of the commuter student by stating that the number of nonresidential students has been growing rapidly in recent decades, but
