Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between University housing and academic achievement and to investigate the relationship of age, previous year's grade-point average and intelligence to academic achievement. A sample of one hundred and sixty four sophomore, junior and senior students were selected from four housing groups consisting of fraternity/sorority, residence hall, cooperative and off-campus groups. The data were gathered from the offices of the Dean of Men and Dean of Women and it was analyzed by multiple covariance techniques to determine the validity of the following four hypotheses: a.) there is no relationship between academic achievement and on-campus/ off-campus housing, b.) there is no relationship between academic achievement and age for students in on-campus/off-campus housing, c.) there is no relationship between academic achievement and past grade-point average for students in on-campus/off-campus housing, d.) there is no relationship between academic achievement and intelligence for students in on-campus/off-campus housing. The data were additionally analyzed according to various mathematical models relating grade-point average to the variables: under observation. In addition, the effect of moving from residence halls to off-campus housing as well as the effect of supervision on grade-point averages was studied. No significant relationship between academic achievement and housing, age, and intelligence was found. The previous years grade-point average was significantly related to academic achievement. A mathematical model utilizing but one measurable variable, the previous years grade-point average, was found to "fit the data" as well as the more complex models which involve more-than one measurable variable. From a quarter by quarter analysis of grade-point averages, it was found that: for fall term, students in unsupervised housing achieved significantly, better grade-point averages than those in supervised housing; in winter-term students in supervised housing achieved better grade-point averages than those in-unsupervised housing and by spring term the influence of housing diminished in importance since the two groups were not significantly, differentiated by grade-point averages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was an explanatory research design that utilized a correlational approach to explore the relationship of residential factors with academic variables explained by first and second year grade point average (GPA), behavioral variables explained by incidences of student conduct violations, and engagement explained by involvement in activities and perceptions of campus environment. This research study used qualitative and quantitative data to; explore the effect that student housing has on academic achievement as explained by grade point average and retention from first to second year, examine the effect that housing has on student behavior as explained by the frequency of violations of the student code of conduct, and provide a deeper understanding of student engagement and explore its relationship with student housing. The quantitative component consisted of three data sets that included 37,048 records of first- and second-year students enrolled at the institution between the 2014-2019, behavioral data composed of 4,635 records of conduct violations that occurred in residence halls between 2014-2020, and a data set of survey responses from 239 respondents that were composed of questions related to student demographic, financial, and residential factors, as well as questions that were related to student participation and engagement with social and academic aspects of campus life. The qualitative component consisted of data from student interviews related to their academic and social experience on campus which supplemented the findings of the quantitative analysis. The findings of this research indicated that there is a strong correlation that academic achievement, behavior, and engagement has with the residential environment. Findings demonstrated that different types of housing and room types had a significant effect on grade point average and retention from first to second year. The findings also demonstrated that the effects of room types, as it relates to room configuration, was significant with negative student behavior and levels of engagement. A higher number of roommates in student housing was found to increase occurrences of student conduct violations and to decrease measures of student engagement. These findings provide insight into aspects of student housing that play an important role in a students' success and experiences. This study attempted to address gaps in literature that examine how the physical space of a residential hall impacts the student experience. The primary objectives of this study were to explore the effect that student housing has on academic achievement and retention from first to second year, to examine the effect that housing has on student behavior, to provide a deeper understanding of student engagement and its relationship with student housing. The implications from this study contribute to the practical and theoretical frameworks on student integration and development by revealing the residential factors that produced the greatest influence on student academic achievement, retention from first to second year, conduct behavior, and engagement. In practice, this research can be used to inform the following; institutional housing and occupancy systems, design and development of residence hall structures, decisions related to campus planning, and the use of public-private partnerships for student housing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses the significance of college housing choices on freshman students' GPA during their first year of college. An analysis of housing and admissions data from Brigham Young University (BYU) reveals that living on campus has a positive impact on freshman students' GPAs when compared to alternative living arrangements off campus. In particular, a series of multiple regressions show that on average living on campus yields 0.09 higher GPA than living off campus. In addition to researching the general effects of on-campus housing versus off-campus housing and living at home, this paper discusses how housing affects specific student groups' academic performance. Some of the groups analyzed in this report are international students, racial minorities, first-generation college students, students from a low socio-economic background, and students who go on academic warning after their first semester. The specific housing for these groups vary and are discussed in the sections VI and VII (the results and discussion sections).

Download or read book First year Students Expectations of and Satisfaction with Residence Hall Housing written by Thomas E. Burkhardt and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated if differences existed in students' expectations and satisfaction with first-year on-campus housing by their academic areas of study. Statistically significant differences existed between Social Science majors and Engineering majors relative to expectations regarding their residence halls. Additionally, statistically significant differences existed between the level of expectations for women and men, with women having higher expectations regarding the essential features for their housing facilities. No statistically significant differences emerged between the mean scores in students' satisfaction by academic area, but a multiple regression analysis found that majoring in the Liberal Arts was a statistically significant predictor of having higher levels of satisfaction with residence housing. While only a few differences existed in students' levels of satisfaction and their expectations based on their academic major, the physical facility or building that students lived in was a statistically significant predictor of students' expectations for and satisfaction with the residence halls in which they were housed. These results show that in addition to new construction and renovation of existing facilities, schools need to maintain the quality of their current supply of housing due to the connection between satisfaction with facilities and student academic success. Additionally, well-maintained facilities keep high education institutions competitive in terms of recruiting students. Finally, as demographics change for incoming first-year students, it is crucial to find ways to support academic achievement and success. The engagement and development students receive in on-campus housing is one way that institutions can promote student retention and educational attainment.
