As shown in Table 5.4, 48.6 % (54) of the off- campus students rated the need for privacy as the 1st main factor influencing their choice of residence,48.19%(40) of the on-campus students ranked family decision as the 1st major factor influencing their choice of residence while 66.6% (4) of the on campus quarters ranked inadequate accommodation 1st as the major factor influencing their choice of residence in school. The findings further reveal that 44.14% (49) of the off-campus chose their choice of residence because of inadequate accommodation in school hostels and 16.6% (1) of the on-campus quarters chose their residence because of need for privacy. h) Level of Satisfaction and Place of Residence There was need to establish whether there was any difference in the level of satisfaction on accommodation between on-campus and off-campus students in University of Ibadan. The respondents were asked to rate the items in this section according to the extent to which they are satisfied or dissatisfied with them. The responses were coded as 1 = very satisfied, 2 = satisfied, 3 = somehow satisfied, 4=not really satisfied, and 5 = not satisfied at all. While scoring the questionnaires the highest possible score for each item on the Likert scale was 5.0 points and the lowest was 1.0. The highest possible mean score for a respondent was 5.0 and the lowest was 1.0. The midpoint was taken to be 3.0 and this was used to categorize responses as either “satisfied” or “dissatisfied”. For each item a mean and standard error mean were calculated. The results are presented in Table 5.5 Differences in Students Level of Satisfaction with University Accommodation The fourth objective of the study was to determine the difference in students’ level of satisfaction with university accommodation among students residing either on-campus or off - campus at University of Ibadan. The section presents respondent’s level of satisfaction with their housing condition. These characteristics give an insight into understanding and addressing the current problem of the study. Table 5.5: Cross - tabulation of place of residence and satisfaction with condition of living Satisfaction with condition of living Mean SD Very satisfied Satisfied Somehow satisfied Not really satisfied Not satisfied at all Place of residence On campus 11 28 12 10 23 3.07 1.446 Off campus 17 41 10 16 26 2.94 1.448 On campus quarters 0 2 0 3 1 3.5 1.225 Cluster Mean / Standard Deviation for on – campus 3.29/ 1.66 Table 5.5 showed that the mean ratings of items 1-3 are 3.07, 2.94, 3.5 respectively with corresponding standard deviations of 1.446, 1.448, 1.225. As indicated in Table 5.4, the on - campus students were generally not really satisfied with the housing condition while the off – campus students were somehow satisfied with their housing condition with an overall mean of 3.29 for the on-campus and 2.94 for the off-campus students. This implies that there are significant differences in satisfaction between on-campus and off-campus students. Further statistical analysis was done in order to determine the difference in students ‘level of satisfaction with university accommodation among students residing either on-campus or off- campus at University of Ibadan. This was done using One-way ANOVA Test for difference in means. One –way ANOA Test means that there are more than two groups, and comparing the means of the groups. In this case, the comparison is in the level of satisfaction between the on- and off-campus students in the area where the study was done. The null hypothesis is that the means for groups are equal. This was tested at 0.05 significance level. The results are presented in Table 5.5.1 and 5.5.2. Table 5.5.1: Satisfaction with condition of living N Mean Std. Deviation Std.
