Nonetheless, less or lack of attention was given to survey on student residential satisfaction in the campus house setting. This study, however, tried to fill in the gap by focusing more on the relationship between students socioeconomic backgrounds and student residential satisfaction with their oncampus student housing facilities. Twostage cluster sampling method was employed to classify the respondents. Then, selfadministered questionnaires were distributed facetoface to the students. In general, it was confirmed that the students socioeconomic backgrounds have significantly influence the students satisfaction with their oncampus student housing facilities. The main influential factors were revealed as the economic status, sense of sharing, and the ethnicity of roommates. Likewise, this study could also provide some useful feedback for the universities administration in order to improve their student housing facilities.</abstract> <index>Open Science Index 56, 2011</index> </article>
