How students perceive their campus environment is affected by a multitude of factors. Some of these include interactions between students and faculty, faculty teaching practices, demographic characteristics of students and students living arrangements. While some research has contributed meaningful findings related to which students see their environment as supportive and why, much of it is outdated, or does not truly consider the campus environment as a critical factor to student success. Students are constantly engaged in the campus environment, which is why it is critical that there is more research to flesh out how a supportive environment is made and upheld at colleges and universities. The goal of this proposed study was to build on the previous research and find which factors relate to students' perceptions of a supportive environment at a mid-size, comprehensive Midwestern university. This study used survey data from first-year and senior students provided by the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) and found that student/faculty interactions, the quality of interactions on campus, and gender were significantly correlated with students perceptions of a supportive environment.
