Social

When living on campus students become more outgoing and social. Residence can live with one or more people per room or per floor. Having all of these other students around you, helps you to interact with peers and make new friends.

Students living on campus interact with peers more outside of class, whether it is grabbing lunch together, studying for a test, helping each other understand homework or just hanging out having fun. No matter what the situation these students living on campus have no choice but to communicate with other students, becoming more open and active. There is "positive correlations between peer group variables and individual outcomes" (McEwan 347).
