Abstract
According to the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES), the cost of college tuition, room, and board increased 42% at public institutions and 31% at private, not-for-profit institutions (U.S. Department of Education, 2012). Further, data indicate more students are choosing to live off campus (U.S. Department of Education, 1991, 2013). Yet most colleges and universities lack robust systems of support for these underserved student populations. The Collegia Program at Seattle University represents an effective program that promotes commuter and transfer student success and persistence by meeting the physical, psychological, and social needs of this population of students.
