Research Blog #6: Visual

Even though this infographic is for a specific state in the US, these statistics show the benefits of living on campus rather than commuting. In the visual, it states commuters spend an average of $86 monthly on their mode of transportation, along with a 46 min commute. This helps to visualize the difficulties of commuting everyday and strengthens my initial thesis that there are a lot of benefits to living on campus. In the middle of the infographic, students mention that they have more interaction with faculty, have a more supportive campus environment, have a more enriching educational experience and have more personal and social competence.
