Chapter one introduces the topic and explained what the study is all about. It focuses on the problem statement, the scope, the research hypothesis, research questions, objectives and the significance of the study. Chapter two focuses on the background of the study. It overviews the concept of accommodation status and academic performance with emphasis on the trends and patterns within the scope of Nigeria. Chapter three which is the literature review explains the studies carried out by previous researchers. It enlightens the reader on the aims, scope, results and conclusions arrived at by the researchers. These studies serve as a foundation on which this research is built upon. The methodologies adopted by those researchers while carrying out their studies is also focused upon. Reviews of the theories that are linked to the subject at hand were also reviewed. In short, the literature review covers the empirical review, methodological review and the theoretical review. The fourth chapter explains the methodology engaged to carry out the research. Correlation analysis was utilized to discover the relationship between both variables focused on by the study. Questionnaires were administered to obtain data required for the study Chapter five contains the critical analysis of the data, as empirical proof of our findings. The sixth and final chapter presents our findings, summary and conclusion. Limitations to the study are discussed and further recommendations are made. II. B ackground to the S tudy a) Introduction The importance of education is not embedded in the mere schooling of students. The main aim of education is to learn and help contribute the development of our societies and to provide solutions to the problems encountered in daily life. There have been several innovations developed. The World Development Report 2018 emphasizes this great significance of education. Appropriate learning needs to be achieved for this benefit to be realized. The extent of learning is represented in the students' academic performance. In this chapter, we focus on the background of both variables of the study, with emphasis on their characteristics in the Nigerian setting. b) Education and Education Attainment In today's world, education, which is the process of acquiring knowledge, skills, values, beliefs and habits, is considered to be very important because it has led to the development of several innovations that have made the world a better place. According to the World Development Report for 2018, Education is a fundamental human right, and it is central to unlocking human capabilities, according to the World Development Report for 2018. It has tremendous instrumental value as well. Education increases human capital, productivity, earnings, employability, and economic development. However, its advantages go far beyond these monetary gains: education also makes people healthier and gives them greater control over their lives. Therefore, the benefits of education can be defined both in monetary and non- monetary terms. Education can be formal or informal. In order to achieve a practical development of society, a proper combination of both forms is required. The national aims and objectives for all levels of education are: a) the inculcation of national consciousness and national unity; b) the inculcation of correct types of values and attitudes for the survival of the individual and the Nigerian society; c) training for understanding the world around. Education can either be carried out in a formal or informal setting. A formal setting of education takes place in schools and is said to be classroom-based and provided by trained, qualified and mostly experienced teachers. The Informal setting of education on the other hand happens outside the classroom in places such as the home, religious settings and other social settings. c) Overview of the Stages of Education Worldwide, the stages of education are usually classified into three (3) major stages which are the primary, secondary and tertiary levels of education. However, the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) 2011 classification was adopted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural The Effects of Students' Housing on Academic Performance at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria 56 Global Journal of Management and Business Research Volume XXII Issue IV Version I Year 2022 ( ) B © 2022 Global Journals
