Making a Location a Place
In these spaces, students have frequent contact with
other students and with faculty mentors, which helps
to forge intellectual and communal bonds that can extend
well beyond their collegiate experience.
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE: NEXT STEPS
A customized interactive map can offer an increased awareness and deeper understanding
of where RCs are situated in the United States and can provide readers with
non-linear access to a variety of information in one space through multiple layers.
Designed to provide a visual stamp of where RCs are situated, maps can provide access
to information about each RC. Through a pin for each RC on the map, we can identify
their size, the number of RCs at each institution, the role and title of faculty, dining
facilities, application requirements, the `rank` of students living there, and type of room
style available. Knowing where each RC is located, along with other basic information,
can serve student affairs professionals, faculty-in-residence, housing professionals,
and students as they explore residential living spaces.
The survey administered to those involved with RCs yielded a rich set of data, but
we regret that not all residential colleges in the United States responded to the survey,
leaving the map incomplete; however, it is our hope to continue seeking out those that
have not responded and to expand the map as new RCs are established and as staff
from RCs not represented are able to contribute. The research team will continue to
annually update the map with new records and locations provided by any additional
RCs that submit a completed survey to Qualtrics. In addition to yearly updates, an
annual review of existing information will be performed by the research team, which
will ensure proper functioning of displayed records and locations for represented RCs.
Finally, we hope to expand the map internationally to develop a better sense of where
RCs are located beyond the borders of the United States. 
