Coloc - College Off-campus Accommodation Finder

This study examines how home conditions affect students' educational experiences through an analysis of Student Housing Facilities and Accommodations (SHFA) at a state college. Student-residents 404 in number from hostels in college and boarding houses participated in a survey using the Student Residential Satisfaction (SRS) paradigm. The data were analyzed using an index formula, frequency, and percentage. The results indicated a preference for off-campus shared rooms priced at 1000 pesos or lower. Although housing facilities had different construction styles, the SHFA compliance index was typically low. Location, accessibility, amenities, and hospitality were highly rated, while hygiene, tidiness, safety, and protection received low ratings. The study suggests a new method for selecting roommates by utilizing the Gale-Shapley algorithm and Elo Rating System to enhance compatibility and living conditions gradually. The research proposes improvements for roommate matching services and highlights the importance of institutions and local governments in enhancing student housing and well-being, despite some constraints.
