Measuring academic performance of the boarding students is quiet challenging since it is affected by some factors like the boarding house preferences and the kind of environment in which they lived. Some are unaware that there are factors that may hinder or attain good academic performance.

As observed, there were problems encountered by students living in a boarding house such as house rules, presence of landlord/landlady, the use or availability of house facilities like comfort room, bathroom, television, electrical outlet, water supply and the safety that their boarding house has to offer. There are many preferences that the students must consider in choosing the boarding house.
