Abstract	The purpose of this study was to investigate how living-learning (L/L) program participation similarly and dissimilarly affects college students' intellectual growth at three large public research universities. L/L programs have been introduced at large universities in order to create more intimate peer communities that help foster students' learning and development, as well as help them to become more involved and integrated in campus life. However, research on L/L programs has been largely limited to single-institution studies with restricted generalizability. This multiple-campus study shows that L/L programs affect students' intellectual growth differently at different institutions, and that the impact of L/L programs on students' perceptions of their cognitive growth is less influential than on their perceived growth in liberal learning.
