This paper reports the results of a study of residential satisfaction in students’ housing in Nigeria. The study examined how satisfied students were and the factors which predicted residential satisfaction. Specifically, it examined whether the morphological configurations of the halls of residence would predict residential satisfaction. Data were obtained from questionnaires distributed to a sample of 1124 respondents from all the halls of residences in four residential universities in Southwestern Nigeria. The data comprised objective and subjective measures of the physical, social and management attributes of the halls of residence. These were analyzed using frequencies, factor analysis and categorical regression models. More than half (53%) of the respondents were dissatisfied with their residences and the variables which explained satisfaction were the social qualities of the residences, especially, the social densities; the kitchenette, bathroom and storage facilities and some demographic characteristics of the students. The morphological configuration of the halls of residence was also found to be a predictor of satisfaction and the characteristics which appeared most significant were the plan form and the length of the corridor. The regression model explained 65% of the variance in R2. An instructive finding was that satisfaction appeared most critical in the bedroom.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0                                                      INTRODUCTION
1.1                                        BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Student housing is essential to the attainment of quality education, most especially in higher institutions were students come from far distance to study. It has become increasingly important to evaluate housing for many reasons. First of all, housing has become the target of critics and the media for being highly unsatisfactory even though there is little or no empirical evidence to back these claims. Second, evaluating housing provides the necessary information required for ‘feed-back’ into current housing stock and ‘feed-forward’ into future projects (Preiser, 2019). It provides the basis for taking decisions about improvements in current housing stock and about the design and development of future housing. Third, the idea that an evaluation of the performance of housing may be conducted makes housing managers, designers and policy makers more accountable. To evaluate the performance of housing, however, a suitable criterion has to be developed, and indeed, over the years, many indicators of performance have been proposed. Amongst the vari- ous criteria proposed, the concept of satisfaction has become the most widely used in evaluating residential environments. It has been used primarily to assess the performance of all types of residential environments (Kangari, 2015; Wiedemann & Anderson, 2015). Satisfaction is defined as a measure of the gap between consumers’ actual and aspired needs (Galster, 2017). It is considered a very useful criterion in the evaluation of housing because it indicates the general levels of success, measures the users’ affective and cognitive responses, points out the irksome aspects of dwelling environments and predicts user responses to future environments. It also helps to identify the contribution of various factors to satisfaction, the differences between different types of factors and the relationships between various dimensions of the residential environment. In addition, satisfaction is considered an important indicator of the quality of life, well-being and happiness (Elyes & Wilson, 2005; Mccrea et al., 2005). Unfortunately, majority of the studies on residential satisfaction have been conducted in Western countries. These studies have examined how satisfied users are with their environments, the factors which account for satisfaction or dissatisfaction and the models which may explain satisfaction. However, there is very little research to inform us whether or not the results of the studies are generalizable to other less developed countries. Hence, more research is needed in other contexts to test the generalizability of the results and the models developed in Western contexts. In addition, most of the studies which examine residential satisfaction have focused more on social and management attributes of housing than on its physical attributes. Hence, these studies have been of very little influence and significance for design and planning professionals.
Finally, very little is known about what predicts satisfaction in students’ housing. Studies of residential satisfaction in this context are few (Kaya & Erkip, 2011). Yet, this form of housing represents a special type of housing for a number of reasons. First students’ housing is a major form of accommodation for university students who are in a transitory stage of life. Very little is known about this category of users with respect to dwellings (Gifford, 2017). Second, this type of housing has very peculiar characteristics, being different from the single-family house and the apartment for single persons which are the common forms of housing. Third, the setting of students’ housing is usually the campus environment rather than the urban setting. Students’ residences therefore  constitute  a  peculiar  type  of  housing  with a special user group which needs to be evaluated.
The aim of this paper, therefore, is to examine residential satisfaction in students’ housing in some university campuses in Nigeria. It examines how satisfied users are with their residential facilities and the factors which predict satisfaction in this context. Finally, the paper examines whether and how the morphological configurations of the residences predict satisfaction.

1.2                                            PROBLEM STATEMENT
Student housing is essential to the attainment of quality education, most especially in higher institutions were students come from far distance to study. The study of architecture has often been confronted with a number of problems. One of the most important of these is the problem of understanding, describing and classifying buildings.  Understanding the characteristics of buildings is important because buildings constitute points of historical reference as well as the context for training future architects. Understanding the differences between the architecture of buildings which serve different functions may not be so difficult. The problem comes when trying to understand and describe the architecture of buildings which serve the same functions. It is often said that it is easier to describe an object by what it is not than by what it is. This study provides an investigation of the satisfaction of students with housing facilities in private higher institutions in Nigeria. This study provides a possible direction for the management of higher institutions in improving their students’ housing delivery in order to achieve higher students’ satisfaction.

1.3                                  AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The main aim of this work, therefore, is to examine residential satisfaction in students’ housing in some university campuses in Nigeria. The objectives are:

1. To examine whether and how the morphological configurations of the residences predict satisfaction.
2. To provides an investigation of the satisfaction of students with housing facilities in private higher institutions in Nigeria
3. To ensure students housing satisfaction which at the end will improve student academic performance

1.4                                             SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This paper describes the typological characteristics of students' residences in Nigerian Universities. It asserts that this approach is useful because it provides insight into the architect's thought processes, design culture and because it provides a typological dimension to the evaluation of buildings-in-use. Based on the concept of type as an abstraction and a logical principle guiding design, a morphological approach to typological analysis was conducted.

1.5                                         SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study will help the student to understand the need and importance of having a satisfied housing provision. This study will also help the architect to understand not only the buildings, but also the way think and how they design. This study is useful because it provides insight into the architect’s thought processes, design culture and  because  it provides a   typological  dimension to the evaluation of buildings–in–use.

1.6                                               LIMITATION OF STUDY
As we all know that no human effort to achieve a set of goals goes without difficulties, certain constraints were encountered in the course of carrying out this project and they are as follows:-

1. Difficulty in information collection: I found it too difficult in laying hands of useful information regarding this work and this course me to visit different libraries and internet for solution.
2. Financial Constraint:  Insufficient fund tends to impede the efficiency of the researcher in sourcing for the relevant materials, literature or information and in the process of data collection (internet, questionnaire and interview).
3. Time Constraint:           The researcher will simultaneously engage in this study with other academic work. This consequently will cut down on the time devoted for the research work.

1.7                                             RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
In the course of carrying this study, numerous sources were used which most of them are by visiting libraries, consulting journal and news papers and online research which Google was the major source that was used.
