Abstract	Higher education research consistently finds that student attrition is caused by a lack of academic and social engagement. Many colleges and universities are now experimenting with living-learning communities in one form or another in order to enhance student-college fit. Rollins College, a selective comprehensive institution with a successful academic program for first-year students, has completed its third year of implementing living-learning communities in order to improve students' academic and social integration, and assessment data from their First-Year Initiative survey have shown positive results.
