Abstract

The paper focused on examining the satisfaction of students with hostel accommodation in tertiary institutions in Calabar, Cross River State Nigeria. The study sought specifically to identify the level at which students were satisfied with hostel accommodation using fifteen (15) variables. In order to obtain data, three (3) tertiary institutions within the study area were purposively sampled. A total of 150 copies of questionnaire were distributed to residents in the school hostels. Specifically, 50 copies of questionnaire were distributed in each residential hostel in schools that were sample out. Analysis were done using both descriptive statistics such as frequencies and simple percentages as well as relative satisfaction index (RSI) to determine the level of satisfaction of students in the hostels. A five point likert scale was adopted in explaining the level of satisfaction of students with the hostels. The findings revealed that the students were fairly satisfied with the quality, condition and general standards of the hostels in the study area. This is due to the fact that certain facilities that need to be on ground to boost satisfaction level of students were not adequately provided. For instance, it was noted that students do not have maximum access to ICT facilities in hostels. It was also revealed that privacy in hostels had the weakest contribution to student satisfaction in the hostels. In order to boost satisfaction of residents with hostel accommodation, it was suggested that hostels be maintained regularly to avoid deterioration of facilities. It was also recommended that more residential units be developed to accommodate students in the study area. Equally, the students’ priority should be given concern in the housing development process.

尼日利亚克罗斯河州卡拉巴尔高等院校学生住房满意度调查
本文的重点是检查学生的满意度与宿舍住宿在卡拉巴尔大专院校,克罗斯河州尼日利亚。该研究使用十五(15)个变量来明确学生对宿舍住宿的满意程度。为了获得数据,有目的地对研究区域内的三所高等院校进行了抽样。共向学校宿舍的居民发放了150份问卷。具体而言,在抽样学校的每间宿舍派发了50份问卷。使用频率和简单百分比等描述性统计数据以及相对满意度指数(RSI)进行分析,以确定学生对宿舍的满意度。在解释学生对宿舍的满意程度时,我们采用五点李克特量表。调查结果显示,学生对研究区内宿舍的质素、条件及整体水平均相当满意。这是因为学校没有提供足够的设施来提高学生的满意度。例如,有人指出,学生没有充分利用宿舍的信息和通信技术设施。此外,私隐对学生满意度的贡献最小。为提高住客对宿舍住宿的满意度,我们建议定期维修宿舍,避免设施老化。报告亦建议在研究区内发展更多住宅单位,以容纳学生。同样,在住房开发过程中,应优先考虑学生的利益。
