Abstract

This research study evaluated the first-semester experiences of a group of new students clustered together in a first-year seminar and English composition course. The study found that clustered students were more satisfied with the first-year seminar, experienced greater peer support, enjoyed better relationships with the faculty, and had more out-of-class contact with their faculty than students who were not clustered.
