Abstract

This study investigates the effect of accommodation on the academic performance of students in Nigeria, using various departments of Federal Polytechnic, Ede, Osun State, as a case study. The research examines how the quality, accessibility, and cost of student housing influence learning outcomes. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to students from different departments, and the responses were analyzed using regression analysis to determine the relationship between accommodation factors and academic performance. The results revealed that poor accommodation conditions and long distances from school negatively affect students’ concentration and grades, while adequate and affordable housing has a positive impact. The findings emphasize the need for better student hostels, affordable rents, and improved campus infrastructure to promote academic excellence. The study concludes that effective accommodation management contributes significantly to students’ academic success and overall well-being.
