“Residential living during college is consistently one of the most important determinants of a college student’s level of involvement or integration into the various cultural, social, and extracurricular systems of the institution. Compared to their counterparts who live at home
or commute to college, resident students have significantly more social interaction with peers and faculty and are morelikely to be involved in extracurricular
activities and to use campus facilities.”, Pascarella, Terenzini,
and Bhmling (1994, pp. 25-26)

Net of important background traits and other confounding influences, living on campus had statistically significant, positive impacts on increases in aesthetic, cultural, and intellectual values; liberalisation of social, political, and religious values and attitudes; development of more positive self-concepts; intellectual orientation, autonomy, and independence; tolerance, empathy, and ability to relate to others; and the use of principled reasoning to judge moral issues. (Pascarella and Terenzini 2005: 603)
