Information and Technology (SLIIT) residence and their activities to student academic performance. Data were obtained from a stratified random sample of
resident students with hostels (individual dormitory) across Malabe and some parts of Colombo. Student perceptions of living and study environments were
obtained from a survey. Inferences were made from the sample to the population concerning: student preference of the adequacy of the campus safety, and
differences in preference between students living in old-style and new-style hostels and many more.

LITERATURE REVIEW
There been a limited number of studies on this topic, but articles and
website are spread all over the internet without a solid name of an
author, therefore it is unable to be obtained due to the copyright law,
and as well as the information provided on the internet might not be as
well all true, therefore, we have not obtained any information about
past researches on the topic Do university students prefer to live in
boarding places.
V.
METHODOLOGY
The research for the project on Do University students prefer
boarding was conducted in two different methods to collect more
accurate data, one was the questionnaire, and the other was the online
poll method. Nowadays social media is filled with tons of people from
different regions of our country, and we decided to get the opinion from
them too so that a broader idea could be obtained on this field, therefore
an online poll was made and the links to that poll were shared with
many people, to do this, FACEBOOK was chosen as the social media.
Facebook was chosen because of its popularity even around the rural
areas of Sri Lanka. Data could have been collected internationally, but
due to the lack of time, the research had to be restricted within Sri
Lanka.The link to the poll was given to many people, and was posted
on many groups in to get a clear picture of what students around the
island think about staying in boarding.
students with specific questions that helped us collect the sample for the
statistical analysis.
The questionnaire we produced had answers for the students to choose
from. We handover the questionnaire forms to random number of
students and they choose the answers and tick them. Using these data
we can create statistical analysis and proceed with the research and
present the conclusions.
VI.
ANALYSIS
We also had to visit one of our friends (boy) hostel to distribute the
questionnaire among them, and since a girls hostel could not be
visited, one of our friends help had to be taken to distribute the
questions.
Bar charts are one of the most essential ways of analyzing data related
to numbers since a direct comparison can be obtained.
Due to this lacking factor, the above mentioned online poll has to be
made too to collect more statistical data on the research.

RECOMMENDATION
Students do not like to live in hostel, but due to some factors such as
travelling and to gain more study time, they tend to live in hostels, but
yet, students love to be at their homes more than hostel.
So we recommend:

CONCLUSION
From the analyzed data, the conclusion which could be drawn is,
people live in boarding because of minor problems such as travelling
long distances and time allocation (get more time to study).If not for
these minor problems, they would prefer home as a medium of shelter.
Finally, we would like to thank our parents who supported us and stood
by our sides through the hard time and encouraged us by giving hope
on this research.
