Residence Life and Student Housing designed an exploratory research study to understand variables associated with student retention, graduation, and other student success indicators based on existing housing and institutional data from current and former on-campus residents at SMU. Specifically, the study sought to understand the potential impacts of the Residential Commons model on the selected indicators. The study included a timeframe that encompasses two years prior to the establishment of the Residential Commons (fall 2012) to spring 2019.
