Sense of belonging plays a key role in college students' persistence and successful degree completion. This study evaluated how social factors contributed to students’ sense of belonging at a major Midwestern university when controlling for individual-level and academic factors. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that students’ sense of belonging was significantly associated with underrepresented backgrounds, personality traits, adjustment to college, and friendship variables. We discuss the potential implications of these relationships in promoting retention and student success.
