Imagine yourself being a full time college student, working twenty hours a week and commuting at least three days a week for an hour long. We can see how this can greatly affect your GPA. Not only would it be work related and commuting, but there are many other factors that can come into play. In this paper we will look what factors affects your GPA. Before I jump into the factors and the actual research, let me explain why I feel it is important to know and why I chose this topic.
One of the reasons why I chose this topic is the fact that I work around 20 hours a week, commute 4 days a week and takes me close to an hour to drive to school. Also to further understand, it isn't only just commuting that can take a toll on someone's GPA. In order to do so, I went about creating research questions that related to that.

On the other hand yes commuting does have an effect on someone's GPA, however I feel the effect will be very minimal. Before I go ahead and present the methods and my findings on my research, I must include what studies have been done previously on this research
