Strengths 2. Participation in Extracurricular Activities –The hall environment allows students to become involved in more campus activities. –Students learn to work in small groups, manage budgets, express ideas, and manage others.

Strengths 3. Perception of Campus Social Climate –More positive perception of campus social climate –Generally more satisfied with college experience –Residential students feel campus environment is more… comfortable academic supportive enjoyable

Strengths 4. Personal Growth and Development –Residential students mature more quickly because they are forced to meet more challenges. –Must assume more responsibility because away from home.

Strengths 5. Interpersonal Relationships –Strong friendships are built –Interpersonal relationships are strong –Forced to develop greater tolerance for different cultures and lifestyles –Helps break down cultural stereotypes

Strengths 6. Faculty Interaction –Faculty invited to residence halls –Residence halls located on campus making it easier for students to mingle informally with faculty –Opportunities for mentoring relationships from faculty or staff
