Rationale for our survey

By -
The topic of our survey is about accommodation of international students, particularly for EAP4 Students at Swinburne University.

 As we know in recent years, the number of international students has grown in many countries, including in Australia. We believe accommodation is the most important thing that affects many international students; as a result we decided to make a survey about accommodation of international students.

We would like to know by the survey the demographic of the respondents regarding gender, age, hometown country, nationality. Furthermore, we will ask the student variety questions about their accommodation.

Our expectation is understand how individual international students manage the challenges of housing, for example how did they find accommodation and why did they choose this accommodation. In addition we expect the high cost of accommodation rent in Melbourne affect their accommodation type, like they have to share accommodation. Moreover to live with friends or family might be the most reason of choosing accommodation. Finally we foresee that most students used the internet to find accommodation.

    The rationale for your survey needs to clearly state what your topic is and the reason you chose this topic. Also you need to include some information about what you expect to find out. Some of the information you have included here is more appropriate to include in the introduction of the summary of your survey findings.

    While there's a lot of truth to it — you do meet people and it can be a major part of the college experience — living off campus may be an option your freshman year.

    Many universities guarantee a place in halls for full-time first year students and international postgraduates, as long as you meet application deadlines.

Suggestions or recommendations about the survey topic

Accommodation is important for international students during study abroad because this is where students spent the most of time to stay in, other than the university. In addition accommodation can affect student happiness and stress.           We believe that the proportion of share accommodation of international student will increase in the future because it’s the best way to save money for international students. As a result showed most of students rated accommodation as very good because they are satisfied with everything such as quality of accommodation, facilities or security, except the price. They said the price would be cheaper if they can deal with the owner, without any agency. Moreover it will be great if the University or non-profit organization can help international students to find accommodation, which don’t need to prepare many documents, for example statement or salary certificate for sign a house also don’t have...
