(2-tailed) .007 N 200 200 Place of residence Pearson Correlation -.190 ** 1 Sig. (2-tailed) .007 N 200 200 **. Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed). Result in Table 5.1 reveals that a total of 106 male students and 94 female students took part in the survey. However, only 84 of these students stay in hostels provided by the institution within the campus. The remaining 110 students reside in accommodations off campus. Also, a critical look at the cross-tabulation shows that majority of those staying on campus are the female students (57), while more male students (73) prefer to stay off campus. This can be attributed to several factors including the need to feel secure. However, further analysis carried out using Pearson product moment correlation gave a correlation value of - 0.190 and a significant p-value of 0.007. This result shows that since the significant p-value is greater than 0.05, at 95% confidence level, there is a negative relationship between the gender of students and their choice of staying on or off campus. e) Age and place of residence Table 5.2: Cross – tabulation of Age and Place of residence Place of residence Total On campus Off campus On campus quarters Age less than or equal to 20 42 38 0 80 21 – 25 41 72 6 119 26 – 30 1 0 0 1 Total 84 110 6 200 Table 5.2.1: Correlations between Age and Place of residence Age Place of residence Age Pearson Correlation 1 .187 ** Sig. (2-tailed) .008 N 200 200 Place of residence Pearson Correlation .187 ** 1 Sig. (2-tailed) .008 N 200 200 **. Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed). Result in Table 5.2 reveals that majority of the students (119) sampled fall within the age range of 21 to 25 years, while 80 of them fall within the range of less than or equal to 20 years. The least age range is 26 to 30 years. Further look at the table shows that majority of the younger students (15 to 20 years) stay on campus while most of the older students (21 to 25 years) stay off campus. This matter points to the fact that there might be some measures of restriction among the younger students in terms of staying alone outside the school The Effects of Students' Housing on Academic Performance at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria 70 Global Journal of Management and Business Research Volume XXII Issue IV Version I Year 2022 ( ) B © 2022 Global Journals
