Most (over 80%) of the students‘ bedroom in the hostels have major defects on the interior facades which are unfavourable for living and learning, a prime objective of providing and maintaining students‘ hostels on campus. The findings of the study revealed the deteriorated, unhealthy and unsafe condition of the male hostels.
