Supportive Campus
Environment (NSSE Benchmark)
Students perform better and are more satisfied at colleges
that are committed to the success and cultivate positive working and social
relations among different groups on campus. The NSSE identified six survey items that directly address this important
college feature.

| What NSSE suggests |
The following reproduces the mean data from the NSSE results for Hampden-Sydney as
well as two comparison groups.
Summary: The experience of a supportive campus
environment is clearly indicated by both first-year and senior Hampden-Sydney
students. Both first-year students and seniors rate this environment
significantly higher than students at other baccalaureate granting colleges as
well as from the population of NSSE respondent schools. Moreover, the sense of a
supportive campus environment maintains and even increases from the first-year
to the senior year at Hampden-Sydney College, while both of the other comparison
groups show a decrease in means of their seniors relative to their first-year students.
