Community college satellite campus students often experience limitations in terms of resources, academic programs, course offerings and access to faculty. Despite these facts, studies conducted at colleges and universities demonstrate that satellite campus students report higher levels of satisfaction than those at main campuses where limitations do not exist (Peake, Par, & Roberts, 2013). The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of high levels of satisfaction of community college satellite campus students. Eight graduates from the same satellite campus participated in the study. The researcher employed an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) approach to examine satellite campus students' experience. The findings suggest that satellite campus students tend to be satisfied when they study in a small learning environment, develop meaningful relationships with faculty, staff and peers, and feel as though the college is attentive to their satisfaction. In addition, the study suggests that highly satisfied students tend to persist and have improved academic performance. The study suggests that students would benefit if satellite campus administrators incorporated these student preferences into decision making, policy and training. Additional qualitative research is needed to explore satellite campuses and their students. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
