The volume of higher education institutes in Taiwan hasgrown rapidly. Many schools include providing information on off-campus housing in their housing services. We collected questionnaires from students living in large off-campus dormitories, defined by more than 100 beds and within 7-9 minutes of walking distance. Information gathered in the survey included: basic information and perceptions on housing safety, housing environment, convenience, landlord service, housing price, and overall perception. Our results show that within the factors of influencing housing decision, safety was the most important, followed by housing environment, convenience, landlord service, and then price. College students were satisfied with lighting, ventilation, and cleanness of public areas and equipments. However, more than 60 percent of the students were annoyed by the sound insulation of the dormitory. In the area of internet web connection, the satisfaction of the service was decreased by the slowness of internet due to unclear notice from landlords regarding to the connection methods or unlimited download. Because we focused on those students living in large dormitories within 7-9 minutes of walking distance, that convenient stores and commercial settlements were nearby that students could arrive between six to ten minutes by motorcycles. Our research shows that college students were satisfied with landlord service. The reasons for this satisfaction could due to competition and close contact with school. In addition, there were high similarities of landlord service. Unlike previous researches, our results show that low priority of pricing. Possible reasons for this difference could be: housing price differences among North, South and Middle Taiwan; or the rent were paid by parents that price would not be a factor for students. In conclusion, price was the most factor in students housing considerations.
