- Abstract
Second, the findings reveal that the relationship between design and first-year student experiences varies by race in that first-year academic success for Black students may be inadvertently affected by new luxury residence hall designs. The results suggest student experiences in the new luxury residence hall design may be shaped by broader societal or campus dynamics (demonstrated by the differential student academic performance by race and homophily opportunity). Yet, at one standard deviation above the mean homophily opportunity, Black students in luxury design had significantly lower first-semester GPAs than Black students in the corridor-style ( I i = -1.10, I p i =.037). Residence hall design has remained an important topic for higher education professionals, but recently it has garnered attention from audiences beyond the postsecondary sector, including policymakers, donors, and media.
