Do boarding houses affects the academic performance of a college student?
It can very well affect a students academic performance. If the
environment is depressing to a student, that depression will
interfere with a students study skills. On the other hand, if the
environment is lively, a lot of activity and peer pressure, that
also can have a negative affect on a students performance. Students
must feel comfortable within their environment, and in an
environment that facilitates a good balance between school
responsibilities and personal life activities.
