| Abstract | This qualitative case study explored the perceptions of college students at Cooper University, a large state university in the Northeastern United States, regarding connectedness, sense of belonging, and campus climate. Data were collected through a student questionnaire (n=104), interviews (n=6), and digital journals (n=6). Four major themes emerged from the analysis: social/personal connectedness, academic connectedness, sense of belonging, and campus climate, each with three subthemes. The findings indicate that the meaning and authenticity of connections, rather than the quantity of connections, impact students' perceptions of connectedness. A strong sense of belonging is linked to basic needs being met, such as safety, acceptance, and access to human rights. Success in academic and social settings also contributes to a sense of belonging. The campus climate, including inclusivity, equity, representation, safety, and warmth, influences students' ability to connect and belong in the community. The findings highlight the need for authentic connections, representation of minoritized and marginalized groups, cohesiveness between social and academic life on campus, and opportunities for students to explore their identity in a diverse community. Additionally, the results emphasize the importance of meeting basic needs for students to feel a sense of belonging. First-year opportunities, such as mentorship, efficient communication of available resources, and avenues for connecting with peers in academic departments, may also benefit students.
