    Jackson, Rebecca. "The relationship between lifestyle and campus eating behaviors in mal and females." College Student Journal 43.1 (2009): 860-871. Ebscohost. Web. 22 Nov. 2010.

    Poor nutritional practices and heightened levels of stress, two common attributes of university life, are strongly linked with weight gain and decreased health. Little research has examined the relationships between university students' lifestyle factors and campus eating behaviours; therefore, this study aimed to examine relationships between lifestyle and campus eating behaviour. Both lifestyle and eating behaviour questionnaires were developed and administered to male and female undergraduate students at a Canadian university. Students whose living arrangements had not changed since high school consumed less alcohol than individuals who moved away from their previous dwellings. Fast food consumption was also significantly related to lower physical activity levels and higher expenditures for food on campus. Males also consumed more alcohol than females and spent more money for food on campus. Conclusion. Relationships do exist between lifestyle and campus eating behaviour. These results may be used as a foundation for future research on the effect of lifestyle on eating behaviours and nutritional status in university age student

    Comeaux, Eddie, and C. Keith Harrison. "Faculty and male student athletes: racial differences in the environmental predictors of academic achievement." Race, Ethnicity & Education 10.2 (2007): 199-214. Academic Search Complete. EBSCO. Web. 3 Nov. 2010. This article is talking about how outside environmental variables affect the academic achievements of college athletes. It also talks about the varying types of athlete to faculty interaction. A certain study shows that black and white athletes do not benefit equally from this interaction. The author is inferring that black and white athletes are treated much differently, in some situations at least. Faculty and students are now discussing how to fix this problem in order to improve communication and the experience of college athletics.
