THIS STUDY FOCUSES ON A WELLNESS LEARNING
COMMUNITY in order to report changes that were made
to its operation and to determine if its members had
higher levels of satisfaction than did other students living
in the same residence hall. Research was conducted on
the wellness learning community at a Midwest university
to determine if changes made in the functioning of the
community resulted in improved student satisfaction with
living and learning experiences. A previous study had
revealed that changes were needed to improve the quality
of faculty and staff interactions and learning community
activities. To determine the impact of the implemented
changes, a second iteration of the previous survey was used
to determine if student satisfaction increased as a result
of the implemented changes. A control group in the same
residence hall was used in an effort to remove inﬂuences
of other variables. Results showed that the implementation
of purposeful interactions and activities made signiﬁcant
changes on the wellness students' satisfaction with their
living and learning community.

This study was conducted to evaluate student satisfaction with the
living and learning environment of a residential wellness learning
community, which was evaluated in 2008 after its ﬁrst year of operation. The results of the 2008 evaluation indicated that student satisfaction with this community was signiﬁcantly lower than student
satisfaction for two other residential learning communities: architecture/engineering and pharmacy (Frazier, 2009). The purpose of
the present study is to report the changes that were made to the
operation of the wellness learning community and to determine if
members of this community had higher levels of satisfaction with
the living and learning environment than did other students living
in the same residence hall.
