THE IMPORTANCE OF LIVING ON CAMPUS is well
established, but extant research that examines administrator
perceptions of what comprises the best educational
experience for students living on campus is generally
unavailable. This study reports the development of a
psychometric instrument designed to uncover underlying
paradigms and attitudes of administrators toward
residential living and learning. With a focus on four areas
- the importance of students living on campus, the role of
residence life professionals as educators, student-faculty
interaction outside of the classroom, and the design of
facilities - the Campus Residential Experience Survey is used
to conduct a cultural audit that reveals perceptions of where
a campus currently stands and attitudes of ideal campus
goals. The purpose of this instrument is to help campuses
begin critical conversations around how to best promote
student learning.

Residential educational experiences are known to benefit college
students (Schudde, 2011), but little research exists that examines
administrator perceptions concerning what comprises the best
educational experience for students living on campus. Such research is important because the paradigms administrators hold
have powerful effects upon what they see, believe, and do (Shushok,
Scales, Sriram, & Kidd, 2011; Birnbaum, 1988). By shifting these
paradigms from implicit thinking to explicit conversation, opportunities arise for deeper reflection and more intentional practice. In
other words, scholars write about what student affairs professionals
should believe about residential life and the college experience, but
have yet to explore what student affairs administrators do believe
in this area. For administrators to know what they believe, mental
models must be brought to a level of consciousness (Bolman &
Deal, 2013; Bolman & Gallos, 2011; Jones & Abes, 2011). This study
developed and validated an instrument that helps bring understanding to what administrators believe regarding residential education.
