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.

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.

This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Living on campus has long been an important part of many students' collegiate experience. Most research describing the benefits of living on campus was conducted in the 1960s and 1970s and was based upon students living in double rooms on double loaded corridors with community bathrooms. In recent years, the style of residence hall buildings has changed from these traditional rooms to suite and apartment-style housing offering more privacy and greater amenities to students. This study sought to examine how first year students living in three different types of residence hall environments differ on measures of social and academic integration, academic performance, involvement, and retention from the first to second year. One hundred and ninety one first year students living in three different types of residence halls (traditional, suite-style, and apartment-style) completed the Institutional Integration Scale during spring 2006. Students also gave permission for their GPAs and enrollment information to be obtained from the Registrar's Office. Results indicated that there were no significant differences in the social and academic integration, academic performance, involvement, or persistence among students living in these three different types of residence halls. While this study did not point to statistically significant differences, care must be taken in generalizing this finding to other settings due to the limited sample size used in this study. Suggestions for further research in this area are provided.

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).
