| Abstract | The idea of greater density on college campuses almost always meets with opposition. The Latin word "campus" translates into English as "field," suggesting open green space and unencumbered vistas. The concept of collegiate learning amid nature--rolling lawns, beautiful fall foliage--is ingrained into the American psyche. But a closer look suggests that, strategically applied, density supports, rather than fights, American ideal of a campus. This article discusses the benefits of denser college campuses and provides ways on how colleges can determine the most appropriate density for their campuses. Campuses can and should serve as models of collegiate excellence, cultural richness, physical benefits, and fiscal common sense. The right amount of density can help them do just that. (ERIC). |
