EXPLORING ACADEMIC BURNOUT IN RESIDENTIAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES  \nJames C. Stoner  \nThe University of Texas at Dallas  \nRishi Sriram  \nBaylor University  \nRyan W. Erck  \nGardner-Webb University  \nMadeline Peña  \nTexas Electric Cooperatives  \nAbstract  \nResidential learning communities (RLCs) are on-campus programs aimed at seamlessly blending the in- and out-of-class experiences for college students. Scholars have demonstrated how RLC initiatives are valuable because they build and reinforce an academic environment, and help facilitate related outcomes (e.g., academic transition, GPA, critical thinking) . With such an emphasis on aligning academic and residential experiences for students, this article explored if RLC participants were susceptible to higher rates of academic burnout. Using survey data to assess RLC and non-RLC students, we established that participation was not associated with meaningful differences in academic burnout. Conversely, by measuring thriving we also determined that the ways students experience success in RLCs is in fact different than their nonRLC counterparts. Student affairs practitioners can better understand how their students experience burnout when they also understand how their students succeed, as demonstrated in the study’s findings. Recommendations to alleviate burnout while promoting success are discussed in light of RLC participation.  \nPlease direct inquires about this manuscript to: James C.

The listed positive outcomes are not achieved due to happenstance (Erck & Sriram, 2021), but are instead the result of an intentional academic focus that often includes increased connection to faculty, dedicated classroom objectives, and collaboration between academic and student affairs (Inkelas et al., 2018; Stassen, 2003) . Often, these foci require substantial university and personnel resources to be successful.  \nAs many RLCs are associated with specific academic departments or majors (Inkelas & Soldner, 2011; Wawrzynski et al., 2009), concern may exist surrounding the immediate integration with the deeper academic focus during the first year of college. RLC participants often operate under an assumption of being locked into their already established career trajectory (e.g.,“I’m going to be an engineer”), while their counterparts more broadly explore and develop their identity both personally and academically. It is worth exploring if the dedicated and intentional academic environment facilitated within RLCs may also create situations where RLC participants are overloaded by the academic focus, experience an absence of overall personal growth, or feel unable to cope with challenges outside their directed academic pursuits. These byproducts all fall within the concept of academic burnout (Montero-Marin, Monticelli, et al., 2011), a negative outcome that may manifest within a college student’s experience.  \nIf academic burnout is one end of the spectrum of the college student experience, the construct of thriving may represent the other end. Many components within thriving run parallel to the RLC mission, most notably Academic De-  \ntermination and Engaged Learning (Schreiner, McIntosh, et al., 2009) . Thriving also appears tobe a possible counter to and relief from academic burnout.
