On-Campus Housing: Theory vs. Experiment

Many universities in the US offer on-campus housing opportunities to incoming as well as already enrolled students. Recent research has theoretically as well as experimentally shown that the most common student assignment mechanism used in the US is subject to serious efficiency losses. In this paper we first show that a particular mechanism which is currently in use at the MIT for about two decades is in fact equivalent to a natural adaptation of the well-known Gale-Shapley mechanism of two-sided matching theory. Motivated from the increasing popularity and success of the Gale-Shapley mechanism in a number of markets, we next experimentally compare the performances of the MIT mechanism with that of the leading theory mechanism Top Trading Cycles. Contrary to theory, the MIT mechanism performs better in terms of efficiency and participation rates, while we observe no significant difference between the two mechanisms in terms of truth-telling rates .

1957-1958 Resident Handbook

This handbook was designed primarily for female students. It details how a “Housemother” (Head Resident) is chosen, lists of Head Residents, contact information, relationships, etiquette, emergency preparedness, and illness. These rules and regulations were disseminated for women living in on-campus housing and off-campus housing (such as private living spaces and sorority houses).https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/residenthandbooks/1000/thumbnail.jp

Home: Recreated in a College Setting

There has been virtually no research on college students’ re-creations of home on college campuses. This research seeks to address this gap in literature and investigate the re-creation of home by college students on college campuses through a qualitative analysis of student experiences in on-campus housing at the University of Mary Washington. Qualitative, semi-structured interviews were used to understand individual student perspectives on home and home re-creation. Home re-creation on college campuses is an individual and complex process. No single feature or collections of features transform a space into home for everyone. Main elements that create a sense of home for many students in on-campus housing are decorations, the enactment of rituals, memories, and social experiences. These aspects help students create a sense of home on campus. Thus, even with its temporary and transitional nature, students can re-create home in on-campus housing
