| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to gain new insight on the preparedness for postcollegiate
life of graduating college seniors who are living or have lived on-campus in the
residence halls in comparison to those who have moved off-campus or have never lived oncampus
at North Dakota State University.
An independent survey instrument was developed to assess post-collegiate
preparedness for three key student outcomes: self-awareness and interpersonal sensitivity,
citizenship, and life skills management. A comparison was made between the data
collected from participating graduating seniors who live on-campus to that of the data
collected from participating graduating seniors who live off-campus to determine the level
of preparedness for post-collegiate life of each group. Additionally, a comparison was
made between data collected from participating graduating seniors who have lived oncampus
to that of data collected from participating seniors who have never lived oncampus.
Results comparing students living on-campus vs. off-campus showed differences in
the areas of curiosity, student leadership, and employment while attending college. Results
comparing students who have lived on-campus vs. never lived on-campus showed
differences in the areas of leadership, campus involvement, and post-graduation
employment. | en_US |
