Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Add value to the student experience with purposeful residential programs Grounded in current research and practical experience, Student Learning in College Residence Halls: What Works, What Doesn't, and Why shows how to structure the peer environment in residence halls to advance student learning. Focusing on the application of student learning principles, the book examines how neurobiological and psychosocial development influences how students learn in residence halls. The book is filled with examples, useful strategies, practical advice, and best practices for building community and shaping residential environments that produce measureable learning outcomes. Readers will find models for a curriculum-based approach to programming and for developing student staff competencies, as well as an analysis of what types of residential experiences influence student learning. An examination of how to assess student learning in residence halls and of the challenges residence halls face provide readers with insight into how to strategically plan for the future of residence halls as learning centers. The lack of recent literature on student learning in college residence halls belies the changes that have taken place. More traditional-age students are enrolled in college than ever before, and universities are building more residence halls to meet the increased demand for student housing. This book addresses these developments, reviews contemporary research, and provides up-to-date advice for creating residence hall environments that achieve educationally purposeful outcomes. Discover which educational benefits are associated with living in residence halls Learn how residential environments influence student behavior Create residence hall environments that produce measureable learning outcomes Monitor effectiveness with a process of systematic assessment Residence halls are an integral part of the college experience; with the right programs in place they can become dynamic centers of student learning. Student Learning in College Residence Halls is a comprehensive resource for residence hall professionals and others interested in improving students' learning experience.

Book excerpt: An exploration of the architecture of dormitories that exposes deeply held American beliefs about education, youth, and citizenship Every fall on move-in day, parents tearfully bid farewell to their beloved sons and daughters at college dormitories: it is an age-old ritual. The residence hall has come to mark the threshold between childhood and adulthood, housing young people during a transformational time in their lives. Whether a Gothic stone pile, a quaint Colonial box, or a concrete slab, the dormitory is decidedly unhomelike, yet it takes center stage in the dramatic arc of many American families. This richly illustrated book examines the architecture of dormitories in the United States from the eighteenth century to 1968, asking fundamental questions: Why have American educators believed for so long that housing students is essential to educating them? And how has architecture validated that idea? Living on Campus is the first architectural history of this critical building type. Grounded in extensive archival research, Carla Yanni’s study highlights the opinions of architects, professors, and deans, and also includes the voices of students. For centuries, academic leaders in the United States asserted that on-campus living enhanced the moral character of youth; that somewhat dubious claim nonetheless influenced the design and planning of these ubiquitous yet often overlooked campus buildings. Through nuanced architectural analysis and detailed social history, Yanni offers unexpected glimpses into the past: double-loaded corridors (which made surveillance easy but echoed with noise), staircase plans (which prevented roughhousing but offered no communal space), lavish lounges in women’s halls (intended to civilize male visitors), specially designed upholstered benches for courting couples, mixed-gender saunas for students in the radical 1960s, and lazy rivers for the twenty-first century’s stressed-out undergraduates. Against the backdrop of sweeping societal changes, communal living endured because it bolstered networking, if not studying. Housing policies often enabled discrimination according to class, race, and gender, despite the fact that deans envisioned the residence hall as a democratic alternative to the elitist fraternity. Yanni focuses on the dormitory as a place of exclusion as much as a site of fellowship, and considers the uncertain future of residence halls in the age of distance learning.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Residence halls have a large impact on college students' experiences. Residence hall design can help foster higher GPAs, encourage more involvement on campus, and create a stronger sense of community among students. Colleges and universities should consider these factors when designing and constructing new residence halls or renovating existing halls. Different residence hall design styles can foster different results in the above mentioned categories. This study compares transitional style residence halls to suite-style residence halls. The purpose of this study was to gather results from surveying upperclassmen living in both types of residence halls to determine if one design style fostered higher GPAs, involvement on campus, and a sense of community.--P. ix.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past decade has seen a considerable increase in student enrollment in postsecondary institutions nationwide. This increase has encouraged universities to plan new student housing facilities at the same time that family and student expectations have led to a reconsideration of residence halls and their amenities. Many universities have sought to keep students, especially upperclassmen, in on-campus housing, as a means of generating revenue as well as creating a sense of affiliation with the university community and minimizing student dropout rates. Facilitating social interaction among students is one of the most salient objectives of new on-campus housing developments. Social interaction aids in student retention, helps students to integrate themselves into broader student communities, increases learning opportunities, helps students adjust to their chosen universities' educational goals, integrates minority students into universities' social systems, and cultivates long-term relationships among students. While university administrators try to promote interactions among students in residence halls by providing meal plans and organizing social events or by manipulating the number and diversity of inhabitants (e.g. separating or mixing underclassmen and upperclassmen), less attention is usually paid to physical design factors. It is these physical factors, however, that are essential for creating stimulating environmental conditions that help students to interact. Despite the past decade's increased university enrollment, there remains a need for a coherent study of physical design factors in residence halls from an architectural standpoint as they relate to sociability. This thesis aims to identify the environmental factors pertaining to social interaction in Northeastern and Midwestern residence halls in the United States. Two major steps were taken to identify these factors. First, the physical factors that influence social interactions in student residence halls were synthesized through an analysis of existing literature. A method was identified for categorizing dormitory buildings based on their socio-spatial attributes; these attributes were extracted from previous studies. Three major criteria for residential halls were extracted based on meta-analysis: the average number of bedrooms per auxiliary common space, the average number of bedrooms per service space, and the amount of corridor traffic flow. Using these criteria, 148 residence halls from four campuses in the Northeast and the Midwest were analyzed and five different typologies were developed. Secondly, a comparison was carried out between the final types in order to evaluate the degree of social interaction and the extent to which environmental factors contributed to this interaction. This resulted in developing activity maps of students' movement patterns and interactions in these residence halls over multiple observation sessions. This study concludes that the environmental factors pertaining to social interaction in residence halls can be categorized into two broad groups: factors related to spatial configuration and factors related to the quality of individual spaces. For spatial configuration, three factors were identified: the separation of common spaces and individual spaces, the distribution of common spaces and individual spaces, and the fragmentation of spaces. Three factors pertaining to the quality of individual spaces were likewise identified: the visibility of spaces, the flexibility and functionality of spaces, and the finishing materials and colors. The environmental factors that were identified in this study provide a basis for architects and sociologists for both the design and assessment of the sociability level in various types of residence halls.
