Reassessing the Effects of Living On-Campus Versus Commuting to College: A Causal Modeling Approach

Abstract

The results suggest that the impact of resident living on various college outcomes may be more indirect than previous studies would suggest. Residing on-campus had a significant, positive influence on a student’s degree of social integration with both peers and faculty. It was level of social integration, however, not the mere fact of living on-campus, that significantly influenced various outcomes (degree aspiration, satisfaction) assessed after two years of college.
