Barker, Kaitlin. "A Place to Crash College-Bound Students Weigh Option of Living On Campus, or Off" McClatchy-Tribune Regional News - The Free Press. 20 August 2007. <http://wf2la4.webfeat.org/cid=clineli&wfn=wf_lnau_quick&sess=JSESSIONID%3D0001V73zzU9fpoCi6N-OAEo21Q-%3A132v5gerk%3B%20bhCookieSess%3D1%3B%20bhCookiePerm%3D1&addr=10.10.22.82&url=http://www.lexisnexis.com/us/lnacademic/results/docview/docview.do?risb=21_T3343932288&format=GNBFI&sort=RELEVANCE&startDocNo=1&resultsUrlKey=29_T3343932292&cisb=22_T3343932291&treeMax=true&treeWidth=0&csi=227171&docNo=1>

I chose to analyze the article "A Place to Crash College-Bound Students Weight Options of Living On Campus, or Off." The article talks about what factors students consider when deciding where to live while going to college. It also gives the opinions of college students about why they chose to live on campus or off. The article was written by Kaitlin Barker. I'm not really sure who she is or what are her credintials. So I'm not sure if they information is reliable. The article was published in August 2007, so it's less than a year old. So the information is pretty current.

This article was very relevant to my paper and I was able to use some of the information to support my claim. It gave different perspecitves on the issue of living on campus or off. These perspectives were from actual college students, which was a change from "experts." I think that that information provided from the students will help my paper and make it more convincing. It also gave the opposing perspective. I was able to learn about how students and parents feel about on campus and off campus living.
