Adeyemi (2008) defined hostel accommodations as an
accommodation that is budget oriented and sociable provided for students to
rent, in most cases a bunk bed inside a dormitory which involves the sharing of
a lounge, bathroom, toilet and at times a kitchen. In most cases, hostel
accommodation are single-sex, however there are very rare situations where
mixed-sex hostel accommodations are provided. Hostel accommodations are usually
provided to students at a rate cheaper than the cost of securing an
accommodation elsewhere.

According to Elechi (2008) students hostels are
popularly called dormitories (dorms) or hall of residence. These dormitories
serves as a sleeping and residential accommodation for a very large number of
students in the universities, colleges and boarding schools. Dormitories are
usually referred to as Dormis whose origin is from the Latin word dormitorium
(a sleeping place).

In most colleges and universities hostel
accommodations are usually in single or multiple occupancy rooms provided for
the students by the students affairs department of the school usually at a very
low cost in comparison with the accommodation cost outside the hostel
accommodations.

The hostel accommodations usually are made up of
different rooms in a building that accommodates just a few to hundreds of
students. These accommodations are referred to as dormitories, but of recent
the word “dormitory” is fast fading away and it is being replaced by hall of
residence or simply hall. These halls of residents come in different shapes,
sizes, number of occupants and facilities present in the halls (Alumanah,
2011).

Students’ hostels are usually located in the campus or
nearby area to the campus to ensure easy movement of students from their hostel
accommodations to the campus. Students’ hostel situated outside the campus are
called off-campus which are either operated by the school or private
individuals (Ejionueme, 2010).
