Abstract: The study determined how students measure the housing facilities of their learning environment. It is also identified the effects of housing facilities on the learning achievement of university students of Bulacan State University. A sample of 28 randomly selected students was taken from a population of Bulacan State University students. A quantitative method of research was applied in this study. A descriptive questionnaire was used using a Likert scale to compute for the weighted mean. Factorial analysis was used to describe variability among observed, correlated variables in terms of a potentially lower number of unobserved variables. Findings revealed that there are more male than female students in the housing facility outside of the university, more students in their second year level, more students received an average final rating, and there are more respondents occupying in a room but it is not a disturbance to them. It is also revealed that the respondents are slightly satisfied with bedroom amenities with study table, chair, wardrobe, towel railings, dressing mirror, ceiling fan and socket. The security of the housing facility is normally appreciated by respondents as they feel slightly satisfied. With regards to bathroom facility, the respondents are slightly satisfied with location, number of people shared, cleanliness and overall facility were perceived to be slightly satisfied by respondents.
Based on the results of the study it is recommended to focus on improving the following facilities namely bathroom, bedroom, and bathroom. It is necessary that sanitary facilities address the needs of the occupants and tenants based on accessibility and availability. It is also recommended that owners of said dormitories put extra effort in investing in better facilities and amenities for their businesses in order to truly cater to their clients’ needs. Such measure will also give more opportunity for the dormitory owners to expand their brand by gaining reputation for giving quality service, facilities, and amenities through possible “word-of-mouth” that will entice potential customers in the future.
