What are the benefits of living on one of MGA's residential campuses?

- A higher level of interaction with their faculty members (Kuh, Gonyea, and Palmer 2001)w
- A higher level of involvement in co-curricular activities including clubs, service projects, internships, and study abroad (Kuh, Gonyea, and Palmer 2001).
- An increased sense of belonging and affiliation with the University (O’Toole, Peterson and Wetzel, 1999 ; Newbold et al., 2011)
- Greater access to counselors, advisers, peers, and other resources designed to support student’s academic success (Newbold, Mehta, Forbus, P. (2011)
- More social connections, (Kuh, Gonyea, and Palmer 2001)
- Increases in personal development (Kuh, Gonyea, and Palmer 2001)
