Abstract
Branch campus students are an often-overlooked population in higher education, with their mental health and well-being notably absent from academic discourse. This commentary aims to raise awareness of the unique challenges faced by these students and advocates for their inclusion in the broader discussion on student mental health and well-being. The article reviews the definition and characteristics of branch campuses, provides a rationale for increased focus on these campuses, and concludes with practical recommendations. These actionable strategies require minimal financial and time investment and call for changes in how research on college students is conducted and published to ensure the inclusion of branch campus students.
