Clark, Elizabeth A.; Jackson, Shannon; Everhart, Deborah
Journal of College Student Development, v53 n3 p477-481 May-Jun 2012
Due to a greater number of students enrolling in higher educational institutions, an increase in demand for housing on college campuses exists putting a strain on infrastructure. In order to accommodate the students, some universities are tripling students in residential settings by putting three students in a room originally designed for two. This research investigated whether there are negative effects on students from tripling. Results revealed no differences on depression, anxiety, and stress scales between students who were tripled and those who were assigned double rooms (n = 141). (Contains 1 table and 1 figure.)
