Dorm living is an essential part of the student experience both socially and academically.
In fact, studies have found that on-campus students have higher GPAs on average than their off-campus counterparts.
So, how can your institution incentivize on-campus living to improve students’ overall experience and performance?
Read on to find out why we believe starting with safety is the key to optimizing on-campus living – and one great way to do just that.
On-Campus Living & Student Safety
Safety is one of the top 3 factors used by parents and students in selecting a school. 59% of parents and students say that safety was a big factor in their choice to live on campus.
Furthermore, safety is one of the key elements of an institution’s reputation. It’s no coincidence that the top 10 safest schools in the country also have some of the highest student satisfaction ratings.
Growth-minded universities and colleges are therefore taking great measures to provide the latest in residential services and security amenities to meet the ever-changing needs of their student body.
Meeting The Needs Of Today’s Student Population
One of modern students’ most urgent needs is to safeguard their possessions. Today, students are coming to campus with more valuables than ever before.
The use of expensive laptops, tablets, calculators, and cell phones (as well as prescription medicine, passports, credit cards and other personal effects) is now a typical part of the student experience.
College students own an average of almost 7 gadgets each, valuing in the hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
Naturally, one of the top safety concerns that students and parents have is property crime.
Providing students with effective solutions to house these items increases peace of mind, student privacy, and the freedom to focus on academics and campus activities.
You can increase on-campus students’ safety and privacy (and safeguard your institution’s reputation) with in-room amenities like the electronic safe.
