Each measure demonstrates the on campus data is more positive than for those living off campus. HRL strives to provide an on campus living experience that has educational value and connection to GVSU as a whole. There is a concentrated effort in working with first-year students to get them to their second year and this data recognizes the difference living on campus has (on-85.8% return to SY and off-72% do). These measures can be connected to the enhanced experiences that our staff provide to students living on campus, including the connections that the students have with RA (peer mentors), staff and faculty at the university.
