Physical activity (PA) is a critical component of student health, playing a central role in both immediate wellbeing and long-term health. Off campus housing may present challenges that hinder students’ ability to engage in PA like exercise. Existing literature examines various aspects of PA and health among college students, which involve campus walkability, social support, and lifestyle activities. However, research does not adequately address the unique factors influencing PA levels among off-campus students such as housing location, accessibility, exercise preferences, and environmental and social barriers. This thesis explores the knowledge gap by investigating the impact living off campus has on the PA behaviors among undergraduate students attending a highly residential northeastern university. A survey of off-campus students queried levels and types of PA, factors associated with the mode of transportation and distance to campus, and qualitative feedback surrounding specific experiences, barriers, and needs and preferences of participants living off campus. The survey also examined student engagement with university fitness facilities, such as RecWell, and their role in supporting or hindering PA. Findings aim to enhance the understanding of lifestyle and environmental influences on PA among off-campus college students. The thesis will be of interest to those concerned about institutional support for PA among undergraduate students, particularly for the off-campus population.
