Community Colleges Increase Housing Options
published April 4, 2024 by Lois Elfman, Diverse Education
"The profile of the average community college student is changing. While two-year institutions still have significant populations of adult students and people desirous of enhancing their career options, there is a growing number of first-time college students, age 18 to 22, that are seeking a traditional college experience.
There are also students who don’t have stable or consistent homes who want a place to reside while pursuing their education. A 2022 national report from the Center for Community College Student Engagement (CCCSE) notes that community college students often deal with housing insecurity, which was exacerbated by the pandemic — 14% of study respondents were classified as housing insecure."
