Abstract

While the benefits of living on campus have been well documented, the changing landscape of living arrangements, programming efforts, and other factors underline the need to reexamine its impact. Using national survey data from first-year students, this study investigates the relationship of residential status with engagement and perceived gains in learning and development. Results indicate, after controlling for student and institution characteristics, that student residence has an inconsequential effect on the dependent variables. Implications for practice and additional research are discussed.
