The proposed title of the paper is “Reasons People Stay on Campus Vs. People Who Don’t Live on Campus”.

The overall design of the methodology is a quasi-experimental design. The research respondents were recruited through the use of the online research management computer program that the university possesses. Online programs in the recruitment of respondents in research are crucial as it saves the researcher time, and viable respondents are often individuals who understand the phenomena being researched or have interacted with them as mwangi observed. The research had thirty respondents whose recruitment is described below.
First, the researcher posted a call for respondents on the university research program. The researcher welcomed all applications with the end result of target sampling. Therefore, about forty students volunteered for involvement in the study. However, the researcher was innately targeting students who had taken the introductory psychology course and who were also freshmen and freshwomen. Out of the forty, the researcher selected thirty respondents as they are the ones who had met the recruitment criteria.

There are various findings that this study obtained. First, staying in campus is important for the establishment of relationships. Through living with familiar people and steadily so, the respondents reported that it is easier to found and cement relationships when one lives in the campus as opposed to when one stays off the instituting. This reverberates the inferences of Mwangi. Secondly, the respondents also supported the proposition noted from past literature on students living in campuses being more engaged in activities, and thus their learning period is filled with various activities outside the curricular aspect. Students who live in campus can easily develop new skills through such activities as they occur in the students’ free time. A major theme that also emanated from the research is the cost efficiency that students living in their universities experience. Such students are, in this case, free from commuting costs and expensive accommodation, which is often the case outside the universities. On the downside, living off-campus, for some students, mean more freedom and ability to pursue one’s interest with minimal interference. For instance, one decides when they can go to their apartments when living off-campus and the activities that can happen in one’s residence when they stay off-campus.

I was expecting the findings. Owing to the fact that the topic has been of great essence to me, I have been researching it for quite some time, preceding the inception of the current study. In my endeavors, I sought to understand what high school students expected of their life in universities, and while the research by then was informal, the findings of this study mirror the feelings of my informal research. I also interacted with parents who were almost putting their children to universities and colleges, and upon discussing with them the accommodation modalities, most of them indicated their preference on campus hosting, especially due to the activities outlay in universities and their cost-efficiency. As such, most parents relate on-campus hosting or accommodation with students’ increased involvement in activities that promote academic excellence a well as promoting lifelong learning.

This study is an effective resource tool for students and their parents. This study may be used by those students, especially at entry-level and confused on the right accommodation path that they are supposed to set on. Additionally, this study will also conveniently help universities know what is expected of their on-campus hosting solutions. The strengths and weaknesses of on-campus having being the inferences are likely to guide universities on accommodation best practices. The best practices relate to consumer preferences, with the latter being students. As mwangi noted, consumers are supreme.

To guide the confidentiality of the respondents, the researcher undertook some measures. First, No third party disclosures would be made of the respondent’s details. If need for disclosure arose, the request would be required to have originated from the respondent and the same done so in a written request. Additionally, the researcher safeguarded the respondents’ confidentiality through the discreet dissemination and collection of data collection tools .questionnaires were supplied to the respondents discreetly and without involving third parties. To achieve this, the researcher contacted the respondents on how they needed the research tools to be availed to them and at what time. There are several cases where the researcher felt that the requested places of availing questionnaires would expose the respondents and subsequently overrun the principle of safeguarding the respondents’ confidentiality.

The researcher applied the formal tone in representing all elements under the methodology section of the matter at hand. Formality is crucial in research as it makes works of research easily comprehensible and replicable if the need for reproduction occurs. The researcher also utilized all the crucial transitioning procedures in the methodology for it to be easily comprehensible. With a combination of compound and complex sentences, the methodology section can be easily understood by any reader for anyone from ages in high school, with no maximum age therein.
