8(4), December, 1976, after studying photographs of 250 freshman rooms, they determined that students who decorated their walls were more likely to stay in school and did better academically because they were able to establish place identity. They also noted that students who decorated their spaces with pictures of home and high school friends were more likely to become homesick. Having a connection to the institution is critical, and the more “stuff” that students display about their current activities, the more likely they are to stay in college.

The psychological effects of daylight, when people have access to a full spectrum of light, are as important as place identity in creating comfortable spaces for students, for the illumination is perceived as being more cheerful. Judith Heerwagen’s study “Design, Productivity and Well Being: What Are the Links?” presented in 1998 at The American Institute of Architects Conference on Highly Effective Facilities, showed that 80 percent of the people interviewed who had access to daylight in their offices were more satisfied with their space. In cases of those who had the same amount of space but no windows, only 5 percent were satisfied. The access to natural light is so important that having only a single view with daylight improved satisfaction. In student rooms, even simple design elements like light shelves or transoms can allow light to penetrate deeper into their rooms while still maintaining privacy. In addition to light, we also respond positively to sensory variation, something that can be provided by views that encompass a variety of sights – trees, plants, grasses – in the landscape. We also need to witness the variations of light that come from changes in the time of day and seasons. In addition to light we want to see shadows moving across the floor, revealing the change in patterns of light throughout the day.
