Public-Private Partnerships in College Student Housing

rich apartment complexes. Thus, any future
construction of residence halls at UFM and
ASU, whether through bond financing or a
PPP, would likely reflect this strategic emphasis on student learning and development.

CONCLUSION
Our analysis of PPPs at three public researchextensive institutions demonstrates that PPPs
often helped institutions meet strategic goals
that involved college student housing. Two institutions, ASU and SU, generally had positive
experiences with PPPs, while UFM's foray into
PPPs convinced them that they did not want to
partner with private developers in the future.
All three institutions teach important lessons
for practice that college student housing departments should consider prior to initiating
a PPP. These lessons should help practitioners
weigh the costs and benefits of PPPs and, if
they decide to engage in a partnership with
a private developer, help to minimize conflict and increase the likelihood of positive
outcomes.
