About the Survey

The Assessment of Collegiate Residential Environments and Outcomes (ACREO) assesses the influence of residential environments on academic, intellectual, and social outcomes of college students. We invite your institution to participate in this national study, which will inform the conversation about effective student affairs practices in higher education for years to come.

ACREO is designed first and foremost as an assessment tool. It explores the relationships between institutional structures, forms of engagement, and desired student outcomes. We aim to continue and improve upon previous research by providing current insight into how student outcomes vary by college housing arrangements.

ACREO is a non-profit survey based at The Ohio State University. All compensation received goes to supporting graduate education in higher education.
