Why Live On Campus? The University of North Florida is committed to ensuring the academic and personal success of its students. In working to fulfill this commitment, over the past several years we have learned that living in on-campus housing can make a world of difference in what our students take away from their college experience and in their success rates. The benefits of living on campus are especially significant for students who have just graduated from high school and are attending their first year of college. Research tells us that those students who live on campus during their first year: • have higher grade point averages, • make a smoother transition from high school to college, • have higher retention and graduation rates, • report greater satisfaction with their college experience, and • make better use of the educational and support services provided by their universities than do commuter students.
