Abstract

Driven by both the high-quality development of higher education and the diversification of campus life forms, the phenomenon of off-campus accommodation among college students has evolved from a traditionally niche choice into an educational management issue that cannot be ignored. The choice of off-campus accommodation not only responds to students' personalized demands for learning and living scenarios but also poses new challenges to colleges and universities in academic support, campus integration, and safety management. This paper sorts out the core background of the off-campus accommodation phenomenon, analyzes the multiple logics behind students' choices, and combines the practical difficulties faced by off-campus students to construct targeted and effective refined guidance strategies. It aims to provide academic reference and practical paths for colleges and universities to optimize student management services and promote the all-round development of students.
