Living Condition of Off-Campus Housing Accommodation: Students' Qualitative Perceptions
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 27, Issue 9
Abstract
This study explores the living conditions and qualitative perceptions of college students residing in off- campus housing accommodations. Using a phenomenological research design, it captures the essence of participants' experiences and the meanings they ascribe to their living conditions. Four key themes emerged: sufficient food supply, knowledge of budgeting, assured privacy and security, and uncontrolled noises. Students' adjustment strategies were also identified, including environmental adaptation, observance of self-time management, and rerouting through music. The study also revealed insights into students' learning experiences, such as learning to budget, independence, academic focus, and success motivation. The research involved individual and group interviews with various college students. The findings provide a foundation for future research, suggesting comparative studies across different colleges or universities, longitudinal studies tracking changes over time, and investigations into the impact of specific living conditions on students' academic performance, mental health, and overall well-being. The study also highlights the potential role of educational institutions in supporting off- campus students and suggests possible intervention strategies to improve living conditions. This research opens up numerous avenues for further understanding and improving the living conditions of students in off-campus housing accommodations.
