Living-learning communities are designed to help students maximize learning opportunities and build strong social and academic relationships (Inkelas & Weisman, 2003; Stassen, 2003; Szelenyi & Inkelas, 2011). Many studies have found that learning communities positively affect student outcomes, including persistence, academic achievement, involvement, intellectual development, and satisfaction (Andrade, 2007; Baker & Pomerantz, 2000; Zhao & Kuh, 2004). However, living-learning communities in specific continue to be relatively little understood as reflected in the literature. Significantly, there has been very little research on living-learning communities using data from the past 10 years. This study addresses this gap in the literature. The purpose of this study is to identify the attributes of living-learning communities that contribute to the learning of college students.Using a qualitative approach, this study draws on the perspectives of students, faculty, and staff to address the following research question: What are the distinctive attributes of living-learning communities and in what ways are these attributes contributing to students' learning? This study conducted a multiple case study with 10 living-learning communities at a 4-year public university in the Midwest. To provide context for the research and prepare for interviews with participants, the researcher collected 180 documents provided by the learning communities. The researcher then conducted 33 one-on-one interviews with 22 students, 6 faculty members, and 5 staff members who are participants in living-learning communities to learn from them as they reflected on their experiences with/in living-learning communities.This study found that living-learning communities (a) create strong community bonds that make a large campus into a smaller place, (b) create networking opportunities with faculty and professionals on campus and in the surrounding area, (c) provide individual interactions with faculty in informal settings, (d) embrace contributions from former students and alumni who want to give back to the community, (e) embed collaborative learning, (f) provide hands-on learning experiences, (g) create a 24/7 interactive learning environment, (h) secure funding for research, the arts, and internships, (i) maintain a co-sponsoring funding structure, (j) designate physical spaces that enhance learning and community building, (k) encourage student-led educational, social, cultural, and recreational activities, and (l) provide supportive in-house personnel and resources. These findings can help scholars and practitioners to enrich understandings of living-learning communities and improve programs and practices to better serve students to be engaged in college, be more satisfied, and achieve academic success.
