- Summary:
-
College and university students who live in campus residence halls are found to have a significant educational advantage over those who commute to campus, either from their parents' homes or from apartments or other off-campus housing. Residence hall dwellers are better off financially, educationally, and in other ways to begin with. Then, largely because of their greater involvement in various educational and developmental activities, they make significantly greater gains, particularly in nonacademic personal development. Methods for accommodating the special needs of commuters at the University of Minnesota and elsewhere are described. They include procedures and plans for dealing with transportation, food service, lounge space, and programming. The establishment at Minnesota of "dorm houses" and suburban study centers by the Institute of Technology is described. It is felt that these facilities have probably helped raise the performance and retention rate of each entering class since the mid-1960's. (LBH)
