place where we can go as we are and not bequestioned.”

Before I go farther,
an activity!

Definition of Terms
• University student housing accommodation: a multi-
occupancy housing unit operated by a university.
• Built environment: the products and processes of
human creation (material and non-material)
(McClure & Bartuska, 2007).
• Life Design: practices, preferences, and
expectations which influence life experience
(Azevedo, 2008; Reilly, 2011).

Conceptualising University Student
Housing Accommodations (USHA)
• Physical Space(s) & Generative Place
• University Spaces: teaching and learning
• From revenue generator, to incubator of
relationships, to revenue generator again

Framing Student Experience
in USHAs
• Personal development: Environmental Psychological
(Gifford, 2008), Social Learning Theory (Vygotsky,1978), Cultural
• Academic and Non-Academic Knowledge(s)
• Student Learning Outcomes & Global Citizenship:
Self in Sustainability of local, national, global

Drawing on USHAs as university homes,
a proposed study
• What am I proposing to study?
• Why is this important, past-present-future?
• How has it been approached before?
• What is the opportunity to expand upon knowledge?

Research Questions
• How do students spend their time in a university
student housing accommodation?
• What personal practices do students engage in a
university student housing accommodation?
• What impact does the physical design of a universityhousing accommodation have on students‟
experience?

Emerging Project Design
• Ethnography and Phenomenology
• Short answer survey, semi-structured interviews
• 3 different university settings from 3 different time
periods and 3 separate university typologies

Life Design in a university setting:
Students‟ Experience
• Student Experience in a university
• Emergent, self-regulated learning
• Connecting formal and informal learning
opportunities, Life Design as a personal practice
which incorporates a variety of self-regulating,
reflective, and reflexive practices

Current Climate for Assessment
of Student Experience• Preference towards performance based evaluation
and assessment of student experience (Savin-
Baden, 2008)
• Relationships and Outcomes
• Students‟ experience measured by explicit,identifiable factor analysis (e.g. National Student
Satisfaction Survey)

Why is this important?
• Home as an enduring part of human narratives,
personal development, „safe space‟ or „unsafe
space‟ (Reilly, 2011)
• University as a transitional period, identities in
exploratorium
• Life design:a way of contextualising being andbecoming (Barnett, 2011)…the decision to entangle
and de-tangle oneself from the web of knowledge
and assumptions about knowing

Considering the Future
• Impact of university housing on housing in England
broadly…how can we create and allocate space
successfully?
• University student housing accommodations and the
local, regional, national and international demand for
FE/HE/Lifelong Learning courses
• Designing residence models to be complementary to
the activities and principles of a university and the
Life Design principles of students in residences

Bringing it Home• A great deal of interest and generalist research has been
offered on university student housing accommodations, but
I‟d like to contribute my part…personal stories
• Home is an important part of my life, and I believe, an
important part of the way we live, how we are able to think,
be…and become (Barnett, 2011).
• Abundant opportunity to engage with students about theirexperience in student housing accommodations exists.
• Growing student participation, engaging with diversity in HE
and the “Place of space-place” in student Living-learning

― Rainer Maria Rilke
“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your
heart and try to love the questions themselves,like locked rooms and like books that are now
written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek
the answers, which cannot be given you
because you would not be able to live them. Andthe point is, to live everything. Live the questions
now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without
noticing it, live along some distant day into the
answer.”
