| Collegiate housing has been in existence for more than 300 years in the United States. During the
early period, American residence halls followed the English residential college model of Oxford and Cambridge
with the function of supervision. Between 1850 and the late nineteenth century, influenced by the German
university model, residence halls were denounced as inappropriate and a waste of money in American universities.
Between the late nineteenth century and the mid-twentieth century, trends in American higher education once
again encouraged the construction of residence halls. Since 1960s, to extend learning outside of the classroom,
student affairs educators have infused programmatic curriculums and strategic management techniques into the
residential experience.
