Transportation planning plays a very important role in the development of any country. The population throughout the world is increasing at an exponential rate. As the population increases, the number of vehicles also rise leading to congestion and other traffic problems. Transportation planning traditionally considers only the general population whereas certain subgroups like college going students are completely overlooked. Colleges and Universities are a major platform, attracting and generating numerous trips per day, on the account of a large number of students and employees. Moreover, the university campuses have higher concentration of regular work or education trips, during some specific time or hour, which can increase the congestion in the nearby areas and streets. Thus, studying the travel behaviour of university students is very important, as they form a significant part of the travelling community. Besides, it is seen that students exhibit distinct travel characteristics, which makes it vital to understand their daily commuting habits and their reliance on private vehicles. The mode choice of students is also likely to be altered by the availability of parking space within the campus. This is a literature review based paper that aims at studying various researches already done in the field and drawing conclusions thereon.
