Place of Residence, Student Involvement, and First Year Marks.
Grayson, J. Paul
Canadian Journal of Higher Education, v27 n1 p1-23 1997
A survey of 1,200 students at York University (Ontario) found students' place of residence affected student involvement and first-year grades. After controlling for standardized test scores and department, freshman grades of off-campus students were higher than those of on-campus students. Despite off-campus residence and low involvement in some activities, students living with parents had better classroom involvement. The survey is appended. (MSE)
