寄宿学校是否为学生是有益的争论仍然在发展和发达国家存在。在农村中国，由于在 2001 开始了的一个国家学校兼并节目，上学生的数字戏剧性地增加了。然而，很少研究都没被做测量登机地位怎么可以与营养，健康和教育结果被相关。在这篇论文，我们比较不搭伙的学生登机到那些用的结果一大，在中国越过五个省包括 59 个农村县的总数数据集。我们发现为登机的所有结果，学生们表演比不搭伙的学生更坏。尽管有这些差别，所有结果的绝对层次为登机和不搭伙的学生是低的，显示对将指向不管他们的登机地位的所有农村学生的新政策的需要。

英文摘要：

The debate over whether boarding school is beneficial for students still exists in both developing and developed countries. In rural China, as a result of a national school merger program that began in 2001, the number of boarding students has increased dramatically. Little research has been done, however, to measure how boarding status may be correlated with nutrition, health and educational outcomes. In this paper, we compare the outcomes of boarding to those of non-boarding students using a large, aggregate dataset that includes 59 rural counties across five provinces in China. We find that for all outcomes boarding students perform worse than non-boarding students. Despite these differences, the absolute levels of all outcomes are low for both boarding and non-boarding students, indicating a need for new policies that will target all rural students regardless of their boarding status.
