Introduction
This survey is about
the international student’s preference for living in dormitory or temples in
Bangkok. Nowadays students are more likely staying at dormitory of university
because of many reasons, some students prefer staying at dormitory because of
freedom and some students prefer staying at dormitory because of good study of
alone in room and believe that dormitory staying students get grade higher than
home living students. MCU monk students are staying at different temples in
Bangkok and also staying in dormitory of University. So here in this paper
describe the true research result of MCU students by asking of two questions.
Do you like staying in MCU or outside of MCU? And what is your grade? The
research result came from all international students and describe in body text
of this paper in detail.
Background
This survey was focus
on international students who living in the dormitory of
Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University Wang Noi and outside of University.
The primary purpose of this study was to know the most important factors that international
students’ level of satisfaction with the student dormitory they are living in.
This paper also explores the difference in the satisfaction levels of students
living in dormitory and some students living in outside the University.
Different monk students
have different idea regarding living in dormitory and temple. Due to difficult
to find staying temple in Bangkok, most of foreign monks more likely staying in
dormitory. It is true that to find the temple to stay in Bangkok is quite
difficult, many temples in Bangkok not allow for foreign monks for staying. But
what I have found the result comparing between dormitory living students and
temple living students is that the grade GPA of temple living students are more
higher than dormitory although living dormitory students have much time to
study and do their personal things.
Expected Benefits
This survey will give a
good information regarding dormitory living students and temple living students
to university and for all of us and compare of each other among both side of
living students, this information may be affect their mind to change their
current situation from lazy study to eager study, less interested in study to
more interested in study. This survey may probably be help to students by
pointing out of their weakness on the reason of low grade.
Hypothesis
The students, who
living in temples, get good grade more than dormitory living students. Students
who prefer to stay in dormitory become lazier and that habits affect their
study and the result come out with low grade condition compare to temple living
students.
Thus we hypothesis that
The temple
living students get higher Grade GPA than dormitory living students.
Research Methodology
This survey was passed
during January 2014, at Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University, Wang Noi,
Thailand. The survey was focus on all international students at faculty of
Buddhism, the number here is not less than 100 students from different
countries. The survey was by distributing survey paper with two questions for
all classes from first year to fourth year and collect back those all papers
for survey.
The Survey
The primary question
was as follow
Ø Do you like staying in MCU or
outside of MCU?
The students have two
options to choice for possible answer.
·
Staying in MCU

And the second question
was:
Ø What is your grade GPA?
For the second
question, there are three options that students could choose
o
3.35
o
35-4
o
No idea

Analysis of the Results
We can see very clearly
the survey result come out and what I found the result above is that although
majority of international students more likely to stay at University’s
dormitory but compare the grade GPA of both outside living students and
dormitory living students have big gap. The first table mentions the number of MCU
staying students and outside staying students who exposed their grade results
but in the first table does not add who tick No Idea box in survey paper.
Second table describes
the overall of through survey result. The students who prefer to live at dormitory
get very low grade just 10% from 70 students want to show their GPA result and
87% of dormitory students do not want to expose their GPA others. And also only
2 students get the higher grade over 3.35 that is just 2% from 70 students.
And students who live
at outside of University get good result and they want to show their GPA with
confidently. 64% of outside living students get 3.35 grade, 22% get 3.35 to 4
and just 14% of outside living students do not want to show the exam result to
others.
We can consider about
university living monk students and temple living students how difference
between them by doing this research survey. This somewhat support our
hypothesis made the temple living monk students are more clever and get higher
marks than dormitory living monks students.
Limitation of Survey
This survey was limited
by the small number of international students of the whole university. There
was only a total of 120 monk students surveyed which does not enough to be a
good survey and to know exactly correct information regarding the staying in
University and outside of University. And during these days not many students
come to class, so this is a bit difficult to share the survey paper to all
international students to get big number of students.
Suggestion for Further
Research
Every university
students should do any kinds of survey as we do now to know the good point and
bad point of University. This survey also a good one to all of us know how many
international students more likely stay at dormitory and how many of them
prefer staying at temple with different reasons. Today students are still happy
staying at university but tomorrow may change their mind, this is why every
academic year students should have opportunity to do individual survey.
Conclusion
In conclusion,
different students have different idea, view on staying places during studying
at MCU but some think dormitory is better place for students but some think
temple is a good place for them with the many reasons. Providing accommodation
for students especially for monk students is a very good for university but it
should have dormitory regulations and some punishment to those who break the
rules, otherwise students are playing internet all days without manage of their
times and even never come for evening chanting. These habit lead to laziness,
inappropriate for monks. Although monks are studying higher education at
university, they should stay at temples by following of their temple
regulations and rules.
