INTRODUCTION

Residential Life at Temple University In Our Underachieving Colleges (2005), Derek Bok identifies a major flaw in the approach of undergraduate institutions. They do not devote enough attention to the rich learning opportunities through the “extra curriculum.”

The on-campus residential experience is one exemplar of these types of important engaging experiences.

Residential life enhances access to Temple University by providing affordable, safe, educationally purposeful conditions for students living away from home for the first time.

Temple’s campus housing serves as the gateway experience to the University for approximately 80% of the incoming freshman class. Living in the residence halls may be the only common experience the majority of Temple’s new students share. It is a unique opportunity to develop a community of scholars connected for a lifetime to Temple, learning, and the ideals of an academic community.

Residential Life helps Temple students stay in school.

Tracking data show consistently higher rates of persistence at Temple by students who lived on campus their first semester than by their cohorts who lived offcampus their first semester.

Through learning communities, residential colleges, and special interest groups, Residential Life provides learning environments, peer role models, and student-faculty informal interaction not available to off-campus students.

Residential Life both advances and reflects it’s vision every day. It provides informal interaction, leadership roles, self-governance opportunities, and multicultural contact in a student community more ethnically diverse than the larger University community. The residence hall communities facilitate and deepen the experiential opportunities for academic development and growth, develop citizens who are intellectually engaged, care for one another, resolve conflicts, and provide a solid basis for academic achievement and retention.

Strategic Directions for Temple University Housing & Residential Life In July 2017, University Housing and Residential Life defined Nine Focus Areas and Strategic Imperatives for the department.

They are as follows: 1. Facilities Maintenance 2. Facilities Planning 3. Financial Planning 4. Marketing and Branding 5. Operational Effectiveness 6. Crisis Response 7. First Year Experience 8. Revenue Growth 9. Learning and Development

4

GOALS: • Optimize accessibility of campus housing by increasing capacity and maintaining affordability, in support of Temple’s goals for student recruitment, academic achievement, and retention.

• Create powerful “gateway” experiences for firstyear students in the residence halls and outstanding residential experiences for students at subsequent class levels to meet their individual learning and developmental needs.

• Enrich community life and student learning by providing residentially-based opportunities and connections to co-curricular programs of student engagement and experiential learning.

• Address housing facility needs of future students through ensuring access, safety, academic and programmatic support, sustainability, and marketability.

INVENTORY NEEDS

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION DETAILS THE INVENTORY THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS WITHIN UNIVERSITY HOUSING: According to estimates outlined on the following pages, in order to accommodate the minimum estimated number of students projected for the 2022-2023 academic school year, the University would like to offer 5,756 beds to meet demand from following segments: • Incoming freshman • Returning sophomores, juniors, and seniors •Transfers • Graduate students

Currently, the Office of University Housing and Residential Life has 5,067 Based on housing and Admissions trends, we’d recommend maintaining the following levels for the following occupancy demand:

* This number represents 80% of the projected class size for FY22-23 (5,100) with an additional allocation of beds. For Fall 2021, the last Admissions report for deposited incoming freshman was 5,707 on September 1, 2021 which was down from the previous year.

Housing deposits for the same date were 4,441. Based on these numbers we are confident this level will be appropriate for AY22-23. ** Projected allocation available for Returning Residents for fall 2022. Historically, deposits are as follows; fall 2020 (1,370), fall 2019 (1,669), fall 2018 (1,685), fall 2017 (1,718), fall 2016 (1,550), fall 2015 (1,660), fall 2014 (1,610), fall 2013 (1,716), fall 2012 (1,308), fall 2011 (1,350), fall 2010 (1,313), fall 2009 (2,036). *** Traditionally we have always assigned approximately 200 beds for transfer students considering that demand has typically exceeded our ability to offer transfer students accommodations in a timely manner. While we offer some spaces for early depositing transfer students (100 beds), the vast majority will need to wait until the Summer months before securing accommodations in order to service the growing freshman population. For Fall 2021, as of September 1, 2021, we had 498 students deposits with only 93 beds assigned. For Fall 2020, as of August 31, 2020, we had 641 deposits with 139 beds assigned. In 2019, we had 708 deposits with 261 assignments. Based on these numbers, we beleive we can accommodate 200 transfer students plus any unused NEW STUDENT or RETURNING STUDENT space not utilized during housing selection could be used for this population.

GENDER INCLUSIVE HOUSING ALLOCATION FOR FY22-23 Temple University Housing and Residential Life holds 50 beds for students interested in living in a Gender Inclusive Housing option. Gender Inclusive Housing is defined as housing for students regardless of sex or gender identity, i.e. students who identity as female may live with students who identity as male. These reserved spaces vary in cost as well as room/apartment style so we can meet the need of our students regardless of financial ability.

STUDENTS’ DEMAND

PREDICTION MODEL We anticipate that as the COVID-19 pandemic subsides and vaccines are administered, levels for enrollment will begin to increase and level to where they were prior to the pandemic.

We used a prediction model to estimate the number of beds in total we believe we would need based on the total number of deposits received.

Based on this model, we estimate we believe we would be able to sell in total 5,756 beds based on 6,600 total deposits.

ASSESSING UPPER CLASS DEMAND FOR 2021 AND BEYOND Due to this housing disruption of return junior and senior students in the fall 2004 semester, assessing demand of this population using historical data is difficult.

During fall 2002 and fall 2003, the average occupancy of returning juniors and seniors was approximately 1,100 student per year (Fall 2002 (1215) and Fall 2003 (925)).

FALL 2003 POPULATION

Prior to the fall 2004 semester, University Housing and Residential Life accommodated between 1100 – 1200 returning junior and senior students annually. Due to a shift in enrollment management, placing a greater importance on meeting the needs of our new students, our occupancy strategy changed to accommodate this growing demand.

Please note these figures do not provide enough evidence to make assumptions with regards to trends using historical data to predict future demand.

In order to reach the optimal demand from juniors and seniors that we once experienced, we will need to engage in an aggressive marketing campaign aimed at cultivating this population and reconnecting with them. We would also benefit from engaging in marketing research to learn about their needs and wants as it relates to housing accommodations. For example, reviewing our policies with regards to alcohol use in the residence halls for students over the age of 21, restrictive visitation, cohabitation, and guest policies, and amenities offered in our residence halls.

As housing for this population has been problematic from a public relations perspective, we recommend pursuing additional beds. We are concerned that the assumed demand may not result in tangible occupancy to cover the financial liability the University would incur. Frankly, the sooner beds are acquired, the more time we will have to market and ultimately meet our occupancy projections.
