The Influence of the College Environment on Honors Students' Outcomes
Wawrzynski, Matthew R.; Madden, Katherine; Jensen, Christopher
Journal of College Student Development, v53 n6 p840-845 Nov-Dec 2012
Honors programs at colleges and universities are one way to provide additional learning opportunities to enhance the undergraduate experience for students. Honors programs provide students academically enriching activities through small classes, research, internships, and community service (National Collegiate Honors Council, n.d.). To further the knowledge surrounding the influence of the living environment in honors programs, particularly living-learning communities (LLCs), the authors examined the experiences of honors students at one university. This study examined how self-reported experiences of honors college students are the same or different from those of students who live in each of the following four environments: (a) an honors college floor that is part of an academically based LLC, (b) an honors college floor that is not part of a LLC, (c) honors students on a traditional residence hall floor, and (d) students not in an honors program or a LLC and on a traditional residence hall floor.
