set may have more interests and/or intentional programming centered on improving
housing experiences, and that may factor into these results. Another limitation in this
study is the exclusion of information on students classified as juniors. More data and
information on their on-campus housing experiences could have bridged an evident
gap between early college experiences and experiences for those closer to graduation.
Lastly, although researchers conducting this study aimed to analyze Black student experiences
in on-campus housing through a racialized lens, we acknowledge that the
housing study survey was not necessarily created with this lens in mind. Therefore,
analyzing these results through a racialized lens is our attempt to provide more context
for how Black students reported experiencing on-campus housing at their institutions.
RESULTS
First-Years and Sophomores
Table 3 includes descriptive statistics for the four housing scales for first-years and
sophomores. First-year and sophomore Black students participated very little in residential
learning activities, taking part in only one or two of these activities in their place
of residence (M = 1.6, SD = 1.9). They agreed somewhat with feeling safe and that they
belong in on-campus housing (M = 3.8, SD = .7). They also perceived on-campus housing
to have a somewhat positive impact on their well-being, ability to make friends, and
ability to academically succeed (M = 3.7, SD = .8). Lastly, they have sometimes worried
about finances while living on campus (M = 2.6, SD = .9).
Table 4 (see page 19) includes descriptive statistics for the four housing scales by
gender identity, ability status, and sexual orientation. For the RLA scale, there was not
much variation in mean scores within the identity characteristics. For gender identity,
Black women (M = 1.7, SD = 1.9) and Black students who preferred not to respond to the
gender identity item (M = 1.7, SD = 2.3) had the higher means. For sexual orientation,
