Relocation of an academic unit affects not only the staff, but also the students. A pre- and post-move study examined the responses of undergraduate students to the relocation to a new and spacious campus carried out during the break between two semesters.

For this study, 30 students, classified as either mobile or stable, were randomly selected from a…
