Background of the Study
University student housing is an essential aspect of university life, as it affects students' overall experience and academic performance. Traditional methods of housing allocation are typically manual and can be inefficient, time-consuming, and prone to human error. These methods often fail to consider important factors such as student preferences, needs, and fairness in distribution. The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) in housing allocation processes presents an opportunity to automate and optimize the decision-making process.
AI-based systems can analyze a wide array of factors, including academic performance, social needs, accommodation preferences, and availability of rooms, to ensure a fairer and more efficient housing allocation. At Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, this system could help match students with accommodation options that best suit their individual preferences and needs. The study will compare the effectiveness of AI-based housing allocation systems with traditional methods, assessing efficiency, fairness, and student satisfaction.
Statement of the Problem
Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria currently relies on traditional methods for student housing allocation, which often result in inefficiencies, inequities, and dissatisfaction among students. Students may be placed in accommodation that does not meet their needs or preferences, and the allocation process is often slow and manual. This study aims to explore whether an AI-based housing allocation system can address these challenges by automating the process and ensuring a more fair and efficient distribution of housing resources.
