The Effects of Student’s Living Situation on Academic Performance
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Academic performance is the evidence how well a student meets standards set out by local government and the institution itself. The extent of student’s learning in academics may be determined by the grades a student earns for a period of learning has been done.
It is believed that a grade is a primary indicator of such learning. If a learner earns high grades it is concluded that they may also have learned a lot while low grades indicate lesser learning. Going to college and living in a dorm is a living and learning experience.For most Indigenous students living in remote areas access to secondary schooling, especially to the upper levels, means leaving home to go to a school which makes provision for boarding. A boarding house is a house (often a family home) in which lodgers rent one or more rooms for one or more nights, and sometimes for extended periods of weeks, months and years. The common parts of the house are maintained, and some services, such as laundry and cleaning, may be supplied.
They normally provide “bed and board”, that is, at least some meals as well as accommodation.A “lodging house”, also known in the United States as a “rooming house”, may or may not offer meals. Lodgers legally only obtain a license to use their rooms, and not exclusive possession, so the landlord retains the right of access. Adjusting to college life in a residence hall is the first step in understanding how to live and face challenges on a daily basis. It’s also probably the only time in your life that you will ever be living with a community of people with the same interests, goals, and, not to mention, fears. Students encounter people with different personal histories and upbringings.
As such, they have to be tolerant and open to their ways of living, opinions and habits. Acting rigid about such indifferences will only wreck one’s thought. Staying away from house is not just burying one’s self in books. Students tend to have the time of their life studying and preparing for their exams along with “growing up”. There have been many a winners away from home and as such, if carefully handled, it would just be an easy way to do so. A college student’s life contains many important factors that may hinder or improve it.
These factors include the following: student’s living situation, health in lifestyles, and of course academic performance. In the life of a college student there is a combination of all these factors. In living situations many sources of stress are found like roommates, suite mates, neighbors, or home environment. Stress can have various negative physical as well as psychological effects on a student. One of the various effects is reflected in a student’s health. Stress, along with other factors like, exercise, diet, drug or alcohol use, and sleep, may affect health.
All of these factors could become a severe problem for any individual’s goals, including students. It has been recognized that the health of an individual influences more than just their physical well-being. It also influences academic performance. Academic achievement is extremely important for college students, as it is a main determinant of their future. Getting used to a new campus, roommate, expectations, courses, and routine takes a fair amount of time and patience.
By nature, we tend to resist change and struggle to hold on to familiar surroundings like the comforts of home, family and friends.Problems arise as days go by. Noise has always been the burden of students. And most of the time, students cannot study because of this. Still, any possible happening can be handled with patience.
And if carefully practiced, a harmonious community could be achieved. Living in a dorm presupposes a high degree of integrity, consciousness, cooperation and hard work for a bright future, good image and reputation of an individual. A steady transition to dorm life is possible if students will keep an open mind and allow themselves to be open to the possibilities that college dorm has to offer. http://www. encyclopedia. com/doc/1g1-165362490.
