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.
Book Synopsis The Influence of Residence Hall Design on College Students' Grade Point Averages, On-campus Involvement, and Sense of Community by : Katrina Rutledge
Download or read book The Influence of Residence Hall Design on College Students' Grade Point Averages, On-campus Involvement, and Sense of Community written by Katrina Rutledge and published by . 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.

Download or read book Student Learning in College Residence Halls written by Gregory S. Blimling and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 420 pages. 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.
