    • Abstract:
      The article offers information on the evolution of college amenities over the past twenty years, from an amenities arms race to attract students to a focus on student success services. Topics include the construction of suite-style dorms, recreation centers, and dining halls during the surge of 18-year-olds coming to campuses, the shift to student success services like academic advising and mental-health support as Gen Z arrived at college, and the impact of the Great Recession.
