Student Ethnography

For my ethnography assignment I chose to study the social behavior of student commuters how they impact the social environment at San Jose State University. The main focus of this ethnography is to study the social atmosphere among San Jose State students. San Jose State is referred as a commuter school due to high number of local students from the bay area that commute from home to school and vice versa. The whole point of having positive social atmosphere amongst college students is about branching out and increasing relations with others. However, this isn’t the case with San Jose State students because many of the students that are accepted are commuter students. I also happen to be a commuter which obligates me to relate the various backgrounds
of students who are of commuting status.
