What's the Right Move? The Relation between Relocating and Psychosocial Outcomes among Latinx College Students
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v23 n3 p195-210 2024
The study investigated the role of relocating on the mental health, psychosocial stress, and social support of 159 first- and second-year Latinx college students. Findings revealed students who relocated for college had significantly higher self-reported sense of campus belonging, and social support compared to students who did not relocate. Implications for college readiness organizations and universities with commuter populations are discussed. Future directions to enhance the understanding of Latinx students' transitionary experiences are also reviewed.
