Abstract

With current concerns about graduation rates, it is crucial that students feel a sense of belonging during their transition to college and throughout their college experience. The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of where students live and with whom they share their living space on how students perceive their integration with peers as well as with their institution. Data from the 2014 administration of the National Survey of Student Engagement are used to explore the benefits and disadvantages of different living situations. Implications for these results are also discussed.
