“…Nowadays, higher educational institutions are increasingly recognizing the importance of recreational and sports programs in enhancing students' academic performance. Previous studies reported that recreational and sport facilities make significant contributions to increase overall satisfaction of the students towards their institutions (Lindsey, 2012;Çelik & Akyol, 2015;Tan & Pyun, 2015;Abdullah & Mohamad, 2016;Misiran, Yusof, Ibrahim, Hui, Baharin, & Hamid, 2017). Therefore, we expect a positive impact of recreational and sport facilities on students' satisfaction in public universities in Bangladesh.…”

This study aims to examine the level of students' satisfaction toward the services (i.e. accommodation facilities, transportation facilities, and recreation and sports facilities) provided by the public universities in Bangladesh. The study also aims to identify the major service factors that influence students' satisfaction in public universities in the country. A cross-sectional survey was conducted at six public universities to obtain primary data. A standardized questionnaire was distributed to a total of 500 randomly selected students to collect the data. Several statistical tools, namely, reliability analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were employed to analyze the data. The findings revealed that recreation and sports facilities have the strongest impact on students' satisfaction in the public universities in Bangladesh. Transportation facilities also have positive and significant impact on student's satisfaction. However, the study found a negative correlation between accommodation facilities and students' satisfaction indicating that students are not satisfied with the accommodation facilities provided by the public universities. The findings of this study provide an insight about students' satisfaction that might be useful to authorities of the public universities and other higher educational institutions in designing policies for various services and facilities to be provided to their students.

“…The transition from high school to university is a particularly significant phase of life when personal lifestyle (Valdez et al, 2018) and exercise habits are formed (Musavian et al, 2014). Evidence suggests that college students who participate in sports, physical conditioning courses, and/or use campus athletic facilities experience significant improvement in a range of physical fitness outcomes (Abdullah and Mohamad, 2016; Wahl-Alexander and Chomentowski, 2018).…”

Objective:University has been identified as an important time to develop exercise habits. The aim of this study was to examine factors that enhanced exercise participation among a diverse set of undergraduate students and their perceived facilitators as well as barriers to exercising regularly.Setting:A large public university in one of the largest and most ethno-culturally diverse regions of Canada.Method:A mixed-methods design was employed to examine factors associated with regular exercise participation among diverse Canadian undergraduate students ( N = 477). Survey data were analysed using logistic regression analyses to predict regular exercise participation. In addition, six focus group sessions explored barriers and facilitators to regular engagement in exercise ( n = 41).Results:Survey findings indicated that being male, having a parent that attended college, and religious affiliation were predictive of exercising regularly. Thematic analysis of qualitative findings highlighted the complex roles that religion, intimidation, peer support and priority-setting played in college students’ exercise participation.Conclusion:Findings can inform ongoing strategies to promote exercise participation in early adulthood, particularly among diverse college students.

“…Education is a service (Rajab et al, 2011) provided by private and state educational institutions for the public/consumers/students. Along with the increasing demand from the public, educational services are currently experiencing growth (Abdullah & Mohamad, 2016). The growth in demand for this service must be accompanied by the provision of quality education services, in terms of not only physical facilities but also the teachers/lecturers as the main criterion.…”
