Satisfaction of students’ living environment between on-campus and off-campus: the case of university of cape coast

Despite the fact that the provision of students’ living environment is paramount for sound academic performance in universities, little is known about how students feel about the environment they lived in. The present study analysed the students’ satisfaction with the residential living environment of the University of Cape Coast. The descriptive research design was employed to collect data among randomly selected 100 participants. The study revealed that the nature of the students’ living environment is not favourable for them in the UCC. The study also found that there are factors that influence students’ choice of their living environment at the University. The study again revealed that the students’ living environment has both positive and negative influences on students in the university. Recommendations are given in the concluding section of the paper.
