Assessing Our Work
We're committed to continuously improving the experience of our students by routinely gathering information about our students’ perceptions, experiences, learning, and development. Student feedback helps us improve the quality of our programs for future students.
Fall Floor Feedback (FFF)
The Fall Floor Feedback Has Launched!
The Fall Floor Feedback (FFF) is an annual survey used by RLH to measure various outcomes of students’ residence hall experience. It is our longest, and most utilized, assessment tool. FFF will will culminate the Fall Tell Us Tuesdays initiative, launching on Tuesday Nov. 2, 2021. It will remain open thru Nov 30, 2021.
RLH prides itself on a very high return rate for the FFF. The results of the survey serve both as an indicator of our success in certain areas, but also as a tool to examine the experiences in individual floors/communities and how we can make improvements.. Thus, high return per floor is essential to look at trends on a floor level.
RLH is using a weekly survey initiative to collect student opinions about their experiences in our residence halls. Every Tuesday, all residential students will receive a brief survey via their UD email. These surveys will ask students about their experiences, and the questions and topics will vary in each survey.
On a weekly basis, RLH will highlight some of the surveys here on our website.

We want to make sure students know about these opportunities in our residence halls!
Students shared that additional access and use of community lounges would help them to successfully complete their academic work. So, we're expanding our lounge usage!
To assist in keeping the community healthy, we're:
- Ensuring Max Capacity signage is on all lounges, so student can accommodate physical distancing.
- Posting all health and safety requirements.
- Implementing a reservation system for large community lounges for student events and floor meetings. We're also posting a link to reservation calendars, so students will know when a lounge is available for personal use.
- Providing supplies in lounges for students to disinfect table space and other high-touch areas before/after use.
