Popis: A certain “mythology” appears to exists within higher education that residence halls do not exist at community colleges. The reality is that residence halls do exist at community colleges, and they play an integral role in the fabric of the institutions that have them. This article identifies the number of rural-serving community colleges, and it reports selected results of the first national study on residence halls at community colleges in the United States. Focusing on rural-serving public community colleges, the motivation for community college involvement in operating on-campus housing is examined. Recommendations for future areas of needed research are discussed.
