How Residential Proximity Affects Students Life

Introduction One of the prominent concerns of many students joining college is whether they will be able to enjoy an active and fruitful social life (Clouder, 2012). Consequently, it has become increasingly necessary to know how specifically the proximity to campus affects student engagement. Proximity, in this context, refers to how close or far away from campus a student lives. Students living on campus are taken to be the students living within the campus and those within a walking distance to the campus. Students living off-campus, on the other hand, are those that require commuting to campus from the places ...

Introduction

Pennsylvania State University is a university that is sometimes confused with the Ivy League school University of Pennsylvania. However, the two schools are very different—Pennsylvania State University was founded in 1885, with a mission that includes teaching as well as research and public service (Psu.edu).

This campus is in the center of Pennsylvania, far from the major cities of Pittsburg and Philadelphia, making it a campus that is quite ...

Cost of Living Cost of living was one of the themes that emerged from the focus group discussions. It was evident from the discussions that living off-campus had financial implications for the participants in the study. This was the first theme that emerged from the discussions. Contrary to the popular opinion that living off campus meant spending more, a number of participants indicated that it was financially cheaper to live off campus than living on-campus (Jacoby, 2015). When the moderator asked how the participants felt their residential proximity had affected their student life at UCI, Participant 4 indicated that ...

Some students opt to stay in the campus residences because they believe that it is much cheaper than commuting back home. For international students, this has been their only option to ...

There are a lot of factors to consider as this decision is weighed; many of them depend on your own needs as per your education. In this essay, we will examine the virtues and detriments of small versus large college campuses. It is ...

The question of whether or not students caught cyberbullying, even off campus, should face sanctions at school is debatable. A good number of educational institutions already have legislation that regulates the interpersonal relationship among students within and beyond campus. Even so, it is hard to admit it has halted or obliterated online harassment, or cyberbullying. It is safe to say legislation has always been and will forever be an indispensable tool of crime deterrence. The statement does make a lot of sense, but quaere does not it have negative fallouts? American authorities enacted the dry law and legislation prohibiting illegal ...

For this particular scenario, I would use several layers of security because this compound is comprised of various components or buildings each having different significance or importance. Using different security for each layer would ensure that even if intruders are able to breach through one layer, they will be incapable of breaching the other layers using the same techniques that they might have used for the previous one (Bernard, 2007). I would, therefore, invite the best security experts to ensure the particular component of security that has been used one layer is not used on the other. The corporate ...

Results for the Relationship between the Principals Demographic Factors (Age, Gender and Years of Working Experience) and the Students Academic Experience Again, there is very little in the way of significant results between a principal's age, gender, or years of working experience, and the overall academic experience that students have on campus. There are several reasons why this is probably true. Again, an additional metric that would be worth exploring with further research would be a principal's tenure on the specific campus in question, as a principal who has been on seven campuses in fourteen years, including just a year and a half ...

The transition from high school to college can be daunting for freshmen. Perhaps this can be attributed to the fact that many freshmen attend colleges in different towns or even countries, or maybe, the fact that one is suddenly surrounded by a sea of unfamiliar faces.

This is evidenced by the growing number of programmes developed by colleges to meet special needs of freshmen, including; campus orientation, on-campus accommodation, freshmen meal plans, special counseling services, career services, student mentorship, freshmen work opportunities, ...

The loss of students and youths to gun violence is very traumatic and calls out for an answer. Although minor acts of violence happen in the college and university campuses daily, terror attacks and mass casualties question the campus safety and student security (Thompson, Price, Mrdjenovich and Khubchandani 247). Shooting incidents on campuses of Virginia Tech, Northern Illinois University and University of Texas has flamed the issue of concealed guns on the campuses (Bouffard, Nobels, Wells and Cavanaugh 316). The national and state bodies have been working toward minimizing the incidents of ‘blind shooting’ in college and university campuses, ...

Those who eat most of their meals in a campus cafeteria or have a meal plan know the feeling. You walk in to your campus dining hall with the intention of eating a healthy meal, but just a one glimpse at the salad bar’s mealy tomatoes and limp greens makes you opt for a slice of hamburger instead. In some cases, the limited selection of wholesome dining hall fare discourages college students from pursuing their healthy eating aspirations on the back burner. Additionally, the campus has does not have much international dishes to carter for international students and the administration should change the ...

As can be seen from sources the Smoking ban doesn’t necessarily imply positive ends via a means that isn’t verified. Some of the impositions that have been made by the campus institutions do not necessarily go ahead and showcase that a ban is as necessary as the reasons behind its instatement. Hereby we can well assume that with the factors in place bans may not be the best way to address the issue of smoking in institutions. Some factors need to be well put into consideration before making any prior decisions that will affect the smokers in the campus ...

When it comes to receiving a higher education, some still look down on community colleges, believing they are the lowest of the low.

However, some areas that community colleges are lacking have become surprisingly crucial for students’ college experience. Many do not believe cafeterias are necessary on community college campuses; this is a problem. Cafeterias provide a central meeting place that allows students to ...
