Bonding and bridging social capital : social class relationships in residential colleges.

The college and university campus provides a social space in which social class is both relevant to the individual and the structures by which the campus is sociologically constructed. Residential colleges provide a more focused social space in which students intentionally live together for the analysis of social class relationships with an additional cost barrier. This study attempts to analyze the potential liabilities of social reproduction by social class relationships of students in a residential college as illuminated by bonding and bridging social capital.
