Abstract

The process of learning especially higher learning is associated with a number of challenges that should be addressed to enhance learning. These include the difficulty walking through hall ways and taking the advantages of the university’s basic services. In fact, studying during breaks has become a major challenge to many students including international students. This project aims at uncovering the problem of overcrowding in college campuses during breaks. It examines overcrowding during short breaks of most students going to colleges and universities in Jubail. It will illustrate the consequences of overcrowding in college campuses during breaks. It will examine student and institution awareness of the effects of overcrowding in college campuses during breaks.

Chapter One

1.1 Background of the study

Many students go home during breaks to finish their work and relax with their families and friends. They are usually excited and enthusiastic of upcoming academic breaks. However, some prefer to stay on campus during breaks and enjoying the services of the library and the cafeteria. Most students prefer staying on campus during academic breaks. However, staying during breaks can lead to overcrowding in the college campuses. Usually, students temporarily move to a single hall to make it easier for the skeleton crew of housing staff to effectively manage these students.

1.2 Problem Statement

Over the past years, overcrowding in college campuses during breaks continues to grow with many more students learning in Jubail University College. The level of students interested in remaining on campuses during short breaks tends to be increasing over time. This could be subjecting these students to risks of suffering impacting their health and overall well-being. Lack of awareness on the effects of overcrowding in college campuses during breaks tends to exist among students and their institutions.
