| Abstract: |
What role does the built environment play in fostering or inhibiting a sense of community in a residence hall setting? What role do residents play in engaging residential spaces and transforming them into loci of community interaction? This study employs a mixed methodological approach to investigate these questions. Using New College of Florida as a site, I use a combination of qualitative observations of the residence halls, an online survey gauging student housing preference and a sense of residential community, and semi-structured interviews with residents of each residence hall to explore in depth the diverse array of factors that contribute to the formation of successful residential communities. My findings allow me to draw comparisons between various types of residence hall layouts in terms of their potential to foster interactions between neighbors, and to make suggestions for future campus development and housing policy at New College of Florida. |
