Final Video Project- Thinking on a College Level

In my video project, I am going to exhibit a higher level of thinking by not only covering the students who live on campus in dorms, but those who go home every weekend. I am going to try to show the difference between those who stay and those who do not. I feel that many people hear that you live on campus, and they believe that you are cut off from everyone at home. Especially here, that is untrue. Many people leave for the weekend, myself included, and leave the campus dead and boring. In my video, I am going to try to cover what there is to do on weekends so hopefully more people stay. 

For example, I know that there is a trail that students may hike that is not too far from campus. I am going to explore that, and show how it is not only possible to remain active in college, but there are creative ways to spend your weekends and free time. I am also going to interview some of my friends who stay on campus during the weekend and see what their point of view is. I can then relate what they say back to my and my other friends views who leave every weekend. I want to try to focus on addressing the problem of living on your own in college and coming up with solutions and ways people get around it.
