For many university students, commuting to and from campus constitutes a large proportion of their daily movement, and therefore it may influence their ability and willingness to spend time on campus or to participate in campus activities. To assess student engagement on campus, we collected smartphone GPS location histories from volunteers (n = 280) attending university in a major Canadian city. We investigated how campus visit length and frequency were related to characteristics of the commute using Bayesian regression models. Slower commutes and commutes over longer distances were associated with more time spent but less frequent visits to campus. Our results demonstrate that exposure to campus life, and therefore the potential for student engagement, may relate not just to whether a student lives on or near campus, but also to urban environmental factors that interact to influence the commuting experience.

学生进出校园的智能手机GPS位置

对于很多大学生来说，往返校园是他们日常出行的很大一部分，因此这可能会影响他们在校园里度过时间或参与校园活动的能力和意愿。为了评估学生在校园内的参与度，我们从志愿者那里收集了智能手机 GPS 位置历史 ( n= 280) 在加拿大主要城市上大学。我们使用贝叶斯回归模型研究了校园访问长度和频率与通勤特征的相关性。较慢的通勤和较长距离的通勤与花费更多时间但较少访问校园有关。我们的研究结果表明，接触校园生活以及学生参与的潜力不仅与学生是否住在校园内或校园附近有关，还与城市环境因素相互作用以影响通勤体验有关。
