This concurrent mixed methods study examined the individual experiences and outcomes among students who self-selected into the different living-learning communities (LLCs) offered at a Carnegie-classified R3 university. The study was designed to provide a better understanding of the perceived relationship between LLC participation and student experiences and outcomes. The LLC Survey was utilized to measure student perception of the influence and impact of LLC participation. The survey was administered to all 220 students who participated in the LLCs during the 2021-2022 academic year, collecting both quantitative and qualitative data simultaneously over a period of 21 weeks. The response rate for completed surveys was 15%. Descriptive statistics were used to provide the mean, median, standard deviation, and confidence intervals for each survey item. Data analysis revealed that participation in a LLC positively influenced student perceived experiences and outcomes, supporting the research hypothesis for the eight research questions. Spearman's correlation analysis was used to determine if there was any correlation between the participants' responses on 15 measures with length of LLC membership, and only one statistically significant correlation (strong and positive) was observed between length of time in a LLC and continued enrollment due to LLC collaboration between student affairs personnel and faculty. Finally, data collected from the two open-ended questions were thematically analyzed resulting in a total of nine themes. The most cited themes were belong/community and involvement, accounting for 65.5% of the participants' responses.
