This richly researched book (How College Works by Daniel F. Chambliss and Christopher G. Takacs) describes a number of factors - not statistical factors but things that people do or things that can be fostered or made more likely to happen - that characterize positive experiences in residential higher education. Some will wave these away because the research was done at an elite private liberal arts college, but keep an open mind - these things may be easier or harder to accomplish depending on resources and student situation, but they might also be important across the board.
How College Works (book recommendation)
