The significant differences in state-assigned missions, functions, organization and financing across rural, suburban, and urban community colleges today dates to this period. These differences impact rural colleges’ capacity to extend access and build sustainable regional innovation, with dramatic negative effect. The 2005 Basic Classification of Associate’s Colleges of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching (CFAT) quantitatively analyzes National Center for Education Statistics (NCES)/Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) data on students, faculty, financial aid, and finances, disaggregating rural, suburban, and urban Associate’s Colleges. The relative invisibility of rural community colleges in national and state policymaking circles challenges these institutions perhaps as never before to find sufficient funding to fulfill their missions to provide postsecondary access, economic skill building, and cultural enrichment.

This article profiles the availability of housing at rural community colleges in 2001—2002 and 2005—2006, examines the factors that will continue to make on-campus housing an important service at rural institutions, and draws on 2005—2006 data from the Institutional Characteristics survey of the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System to analyze the potential importance of housing as a source of revenues for rural 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.
