Abstract

Current trends of housing development and rapid enrolment change are impacting students' daily life such as their housing comfort, convenience and safety. This research is undertaken to study the challenges faced by the students' well-being with regard to the off-campus living environment. This study requires a key informant interview survey with samples taken from active and prominent off-campus students and also the officers from the Division of Students Affairs, Universiti Teknologi MARA. Findings will show challenges faced by the off-campus students and also the importance placed by the Students Affairs Division in ensuring the comfort, convenience and safety of the students.
