    CHAPTER 1

    INTRODUCTION

    A. Background of the Study

    College life has never been easy. Others have to live in

    dormitories for their homes are far from universities. Such adversities

    brought about series of changes for students. Going to college and living

    in a dorm is a living and learning experience. It is the only time in a life of

    a student that he will be living with people of the same interest, goals and,

    fears.

    (http:www.collegeview.com/articles/CV/campuslife/life_in_dorm.html)

    As an abrupt event after high school, students begin to live

    independently. Struggle and stress usually occurs. Adjusting to college

    life is the first step in understanding how to live and face challenges on a

    daily basis.

    (http:www.collegeview.com/articles/CV/campuslife/life_in_dorm.html)

    Getting used to a new campus, roommate, expectations, courses,

    and routine takes a fair amount of time and patience. By nature, we tend

    to resist change and struggle to hold on to familiar surroundings like the

    comforts of home, family and friends.

    (http:www.essortment/all/collegestudent_phu.html)

    Being restricted in a dorm and at the same time pursuing college is

    a great experience. Problems arise as days go by. Noise has always

    3

  • 7/28/2019 Research Project in English of Cherry Ann

    4/36

    been the burden of students. And most of the time, students cannot study

    because of this. Still, any possible happening can be handled with

    patience. And if carefully practiced, a harmonious community could be

    achieved.

    Students encounter people with different personal histories and

    upbringings. As such, they have to be tolerant and open to their ways of

    living, opinions and habits. Acting rigid about such indifferences will only

    wreck ones thought.

    (http://www.collegeboard.com/student/csearch/campus-life/79.html)

    Staying away from house is not just burying ones self in books.

    Students tend to have the time of their life studying and preparing for their

    exams along with growing up. There have been many a winners away

    from home and as such, if carefully handled, it would just be an easy way

    to do so.

    Living in a dorm presupposes a high degree of integrity,

    consciousness, cooperation and hard work for a bright future, good image

    and reputation of an individual. A steady transition to dorm life is possible

    if students will keep an open mind and allow themselves to be open to the

    possibilities that college dorm has to offer.

    The impact of the residential environment in theories of college

    student development is often emphasized. (Journal of the National

    Collegiate Honors Council.) These research aims to discuss the

    disadvantages attached to living in a dormitory to its mischievous effect

    on the students. The objective of this research is to prove that living in a

    dormitory is a great factor that affects the academic performance of the

    students.

    B. Statement of the Problem

    This study aims to answer this question:

    1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of living in dormitory

    and how does it affect a students performance in school?

    C. Significance of the Study

    College Students

    This study would be able to help college students know the

    prerogative and inconvenience of living in a dormitory as well its

    effects on their academic performances. Moreover, it would give

    them the idea on what are the possible instances that they may

    encounter as they move in a dorm.

    Professors

    Professors would benefit from this study as they would be

    able to understand that life in a dorm brings about difficulties to

    students. In lieu with that, they could better apprehend that the

    varying level of academic performance of the students is

    sometimes caused by the said factors.

    used in conducting the research to be able to describe best the topic. To

    provide enough information, the questionnaires were based on the

    statement of the problem. Survey results were tallied and were compared

    from the previous studies.

    Information relevant to the study were gathered from several

    reference materials, research sources such as books, journals,

    periodicals, newspapers, and other online sources. Life in the dormitory is

    one of the most rewarding aspects of the boarding school environment.

    Courtesy, thoughtfulness, and respect are the essential requirements of

    dormitory behavior.

    Chapter 2

    Review of Related Literature

    Dormitories are center of social activities where students stay up

    late to talk, work on homework together, watch movies, and party.

    (Microsoft Encarta).

    According to Wikipedia, the term residence hall and dorm are

    often used interchangeably; however there is a difference between the

    two. An important objective of residence halls at a certain university is to

    provide not just a place to sleep, but also opportunities for personal and

    educational growth.

    According to a write-up in a website of Greatgapyears, living in a

    dormitory can be an eye-opening experience for those people who used

    to having their own room. Gapers who live in dormitories generally feel

    pretty safe, often because the only people living in the dormitories are

    other students or travelers or the same programs.

    Dormitories are all about communal living, but this lack of privacy

    often invites germs; a great way to protect one from these germs is to

    keep the personal care items to himself. Anything that touches ones

    body or requires a doctors prescription should not become group

    properly. (Ibid)

    There are different types of college dorm: the single-sex dorms,

    chemical- or substance-free dorms and special-interest or theme housing.

    8

  • 7/28/2019 Research Project in English of Cherry Ann

    9/36

    There are also kinds of rooms: single, double, and suites.

    (www.collegeboard.com)

    Blakely Louis Beals asserts that ones environment is a major

    determinant in ones emotional and mental state.

    C.M. Deasy states that Privacy is as important to dorm residents

    as it is to anyone else, but it is usually much harder to obtain. Dormitory

    or barracks living implies being surrounded by people. Being alone or

    sharing private time with someone else is normally not considered to be

    an option. If privacy is needed, it must be sought somewhere else. In

    this regard, dormitories fail to provide for an important human need.

    Discussion

    Definition

    Dormitory typically refers to residence halls, which are sleeping

    quarters or entire buildings primarily providing sleeping and residential

    quarters for large numbers of people, often boarding school, and college

    or university students. (Wikipedia Encyclopedia). Typical dorms have a

    dining hall, television room, pay phone, computers or laundry facilities.

    Comparison of a Dorm to a Home

    Accommodations of a dorm differ based on the structures of the

    facilities. Although tuition fee continue to rise every year, housing costing

    remain the same. Living in a dorm also have the added benefits of being

    9

    http://www.collegeboard.com/http://www.collegeboard.com/
  • 7/28/2019 Research Project in English of Cherry Ann

    10/36

    near the college campus, good study facilities and services, and being

    able to establish ones own mature survival instincts. Somehow, it has

    not always been the personal choice of a majority of students. This could

    be their first step in the real arena beyond school life. Home offers

    social, financial and mental security and more amenities where as living

    in dorms is a totally different scenario.

    Dorms come in varieties depending on the students choice of

    what will suit them best. Most of the time, single-dorms are always being

    chosen. As such, architectural matters might possibly affect a students

    behavior as ones environment clearly becomes a guiding factor on ones

    mental and emotional state.

    Advantages and Disadvantages of Living in a Dormitory and its

    Impact on the Academic Performance of the Students

    The freedom accompanying college dorm life can be both a

    blessing and a curse. Homesickness is naturally felt for the first two or

    three weeks of adjusting to college dorm life. Students are entirely on a

    new environment. With just a split of time, there are no more curfews, no

    constant reminders to do home works, and no questions about where a

    student is going and who are they gonna be with. Finding an inexpensive

    way to keep in touch with family and friends can be a great way to

    smooth the said transition.

    10

  • 7/28/2019 Research Project in English of Cherry Ann

    11/36

    Sharing and trying new experiences with people from home can

    help dispel the feelings of isolation and loneliness. Students often learn

    that theyre not missing their families much. Experts agree that one of the

    best ways to cope with the loneliness is to get involved in activities.

    Allowing ones self to get bored lead to great depression and students

    have to make sure that they always have something to do. The more a

    student goes out of the dorm room, and the more they are likely to get out

    of college dorm life. As such, those activities lead students in meeting

    new people and develop friendships.

    The key thing is that patience is a virtue in college dorm life.

    Sharing a floor sometimes pose a problem with only one washer and

    dryer and only a few showers. As students go along, they are more likely

    to encounter similar problems as stated.

    (http://www.collegeview.com/articles/CV/campuslife/life_in_dorm.html).

    Despite the obvious excitement of living away from home and

    amongst a whole new crowd of people-of both genders- to meet while

    away at school, such a set up is not its cracked up to be, especially for

    those people who arent used to it. Somehow, the advantages will allow

    students to gain something worthwhile from the experience despite the

    drawbacks.

    Privacy is as important to dorm residents as it is to anyone else,

    but it is usually much harder to obtain. Dormitory or barracks living

    implies being surrounded by people. Being alone or sharing private time

    11

    with someone else is normally not considered to be an option. If privacy

    is needed, it must be sought somewhere else. In this regard, dormitories

    fail to provide an important human need. (http;//wring.fsu/edu/?

    q=node/120)

    Unfortunately, few steps are being taken to improve upon this. It

    often falls to individual residents to develop a system by which they can

    receive the necessary privacy. Even with the creation by those living in a

    residence unit of a system by which each individual can achieve privacy,

    it is hardly assured.

    One persistent problem of dormitory, and indeed apartment

    architecture is sound buffering. It is typically very easy for individuals in a

    residence hall to eavesdrop on their neighbors, inadvertently or not. The

    walls of a dormitory are typically not well designed to buffer sound from

    adjacent units. (http;//wring.fsu/edu/?q=node/120)

    Depending upon where a student goes and what he does during

    the gap year hell likely find himself living in any number of different

    accommodations. Using common sense when it comes to protecting

    valuables is still a good idea. Initially, new friends, locales and local

    trends usually influence the students. Choices are carefully made.

    Strangers are usually ought to be avoided as they are thugs who could

    exploit ones initial vulnerabilities. Decorum is always maintained in the

    society that students are living in. Though college dorm appears to be

    worn out, it is a secure place for students. Being alone may induce some

    12

  • 7/28/2019 Research Project in English of Cherry Ann

    13/36

    adverse habits that should be avoided. These include not being clean,

    spending excessive time in side activities besides academics, compulsive

    spending and missing classes to name some. Students need not to be

    carried away and are to live within their budgets, for excessive spending

    habits lead nowhere.

    Add to this problems are related to local culture, and perhaps even

    danger of getting pushed down in the dumps due to loneliness or the

    vulnerabilities of a hostel environment. Students need to be logical in

    terms of co-existing, shaping up and socializing. Fights, dislike and

    irritation are part of living in a dorm but these are usually handled without

    getting into trouble. Students should apprehend that there are people

    other than their family with whom they share their space. As comfort

    levels with mates increase on the other hand, students can finally feel at

    ease. Its just that making acquaintance with almost all people meet is a

    good idea.

    Drama is inevitable, and a part of that being gossip. People like to

    stick their noses into others business and then talk. Complaining about

    this usually does very little good, since human nature cannot be deterred;

    as intolerable as it is, such behavior is, alas, unavoidable, unless one

    keeps to her-or himself, which is very hard to deal with.

    (http://www.stateuniversity.com/blog/permalink/The-Disadvantages-to-

    Living-in-a-Coed-Dorm.html.)

    14/36

    Moreover, students need to avoid dorm-life scenarios such as late-

    night partying or an activity that will break rules. A good exit strategy will

    help avoid being part of anything that one does not really want to be

    involved to. (http://www.greatgapyears.co.uk./living-in-a-dormitory.html)

    The adversities stated employ a direct impact on the students emotional

    and mental state. Dormitory life is somewhat an instinct of survival.

    Nobody can choose the perfect roommates. Everyone goes into that

    stage where things seem to be a mess. And in most likely situations,

    students are upset whenever they encounter such destructive thoughts or

    events. These disadvantages that include cramped living conditions,

    non-appetizing food, sharing a room, and added living costs to boot are

    some of the factors that affect the academic performance of the students.

    Even if one doesnt go along very well with his peers, efforts to be civil

    should be made, since living with a person ones constantly fighting with

    can be pretty miserable. Dorm life will be far more tolerable, and even

    downright fun, when one gets to know those living around them.

    All the variables present with a students environment greatly affect

    his studies. From the stated privileges and disadvantages of living in a

    dorm, surveys were conducted and it revealed that majority of the

    students werent able to study well whenever any of these problems

    arise.

    CHAPTER 3

    INTERPRETATION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

    A. Going home

    Survey reveals that out of 30 respondents, 7 or 23.33% visit their

    family once a week, 3 or 10% visit once every two weeks, 9 or 30% visit

    once a month and 11 respondents or 36.66% answered that they only go

    home during legal holidays and break. The results vary depending on the

    hometown of the student. Others are able to go home weekly for they are

    not relatively far from school, whereas for some, it would take them more

    than 3 hours to travel. And more often than not, the rest are still ought to

    travel for more than one day.

    NO

    53.33%

    46. 67% of the respondents said that they can concentrate in their

    studies whenever they feel homesick. According to them, it is just a

    matter of focus. At first place, their main purpose is to study and so they

    need not to be distracted by such thoughts. However, 53.33% of the

    respondents stated that they cannot concentrate as they become

    preoccupied with the feeling of homesickness.

    four-person room

    single-person room

    What kind of room do you prefer

    most?

    Sizes of the room in the dormitories are also being considered. The

    researchers asked on what kind of room the respondents are living in.

    The results show that 7 or 23.33% lives in a single-person room, 7 or

    23.33% prefer in a two-person room, 15 or 50% of the respondents are

    living in a four-person room while the other one answered that it depends

    17

  • 7/28/2019 Research Project in English of Cherry Ann

    18/36

    on the price of the room itself Such preferences are carefully made by

    the students. For some, living alone in a room is much more convenient

    than being with two or more persons. Others find it boring or too lonely to

    do such, so maybe that lead them in choosing the other choices

    presented in the graph. On the other hand, aside from basically

    considering ones personal choice, the room price needs to be checked

    too.

    E. Studying in a noisy environment

    Can you review your lessons

    whenever your roomates are

    noisy?

    10%

    90%

    Yes No

    Out of the 30 respondents, 3 said that they can still review and even if

    their room its too noisy while 27 said that they cannot. This explains that

    students are getting more sensitive in their studying habits and needs silence to

    focus and do duties. F. Organization of things

    18

  • 7/28/2019 Research Project in English of Cherry Ann

    19/36

    Survey results show that out of 30 respondents, 93.33% were still

    able to be organized and an average of 6.67% were unable to do their

    personal tasks. These clearly explain that most of the students are really

    trying to live their lives independently.

    G. Direct implication of living in a dormitory in the performance of

    student

    50% of the respondents said that being confined in dormitory

    results to several factors that greatly affect their studies, either it is

    because of the new environment or with the peers involved around

    whereas 50% of the respondents believed that the former is not true.

    work while 8 or 26.67% on the other hand said that it is just fine with them as

    they are left with any choice. Instead of studying after a long day, they are ought

    to finish first their responsibilities.

    so who do so This depends on the students budget if this is a part of or

    sometimes, dormitory limits the clothes that they can wash there. 36.67%

    on the other hand who have excess budgets or those who are busy, they

    send their clothes to the laundry.

    no

    Most of the students feel pressured in school due to mentor

    pressures such as the professors and other persons who are expecting

    them to excel well. This is carried out in their whole system and

    sometimes, those who experience this have negative setbacks in their

    environment. For the others, they could have been enjoying their course

    or they are simply doing their school works easily.

    number of respondents answered most that peers affect their decisions.

    Sometimes, peer pressure is much more difficult to handle than mentor

    pressure. Their influence can either be good or bad. There have been

    many guidelines to be careful in choosing or in joining groups. If such

    peers would affect studies, necessary avoidance should be made.

    Respondents answer to the question varies depending on their

    experience in the situation. For some, this has always been in their

    stress cause list as all things and eye are on them. Others consider

    this as a challenging one to be able to learn how to live life independently.

    Budgeting has been a part of living independently. The money

    sent by the students parent depends on their needs and on what they

    can afford. Others have limited budget whereas for some, they have

    excess. Reasonable allowances have always been given to students.

    O. Sufficiency of allowance

    CHAPTER 4

    SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

    SUMMARY

    This paper attempted to determine the academic constraints of the

    students living in a dormitory.

    This research used the statistical treatment to answer the

    questions raised based from the results of the surveys. The research

    findings are the following:

    benefits attached to it.

    the option

    of living in ones own house has always been preferred.

    1. Homesickness has always been the main problem of students

    confined in a

    dormitory.

    13. Poor academic performances are the usual results of these.

    RECOMMENDATIONS

    From the conclusions of the study, the researchers make the

    following suggestions/recommendations:

    1. It depends on the student on how he will handle a dormitory life. A

    lot of

    constraints are present, but what matters is on how he manages to cope

    without having harmfully affected his studies.

    2. Dormitory life cannot be avoided especially for those who live far

    from their homes. These have always been true as they are left with no

    choice. Preferably speaking, it has always been convenient to live

    in a home, so as not to take into considerations a lot of changing factors

    in ones live.
