Conclusion
From the survey We found that students mostly prefer only basic requirement towards their study. In addition, we found that sometimes hostels gave facility but it could not be properly maintain. Mostly hostel provide only basic facilities to students like purify water, security, playground, but it could not be properly maintain, so it increase cost of maintenance. In Surat city, we found that security of hostel is very weak; anybody goes to hostel without permission. We have concluded all the data, which is needy for this project.

Suggestion
We suggest that hostel has to improve their security, provide hot water in winter because some hostel does not provide this facility. Facilities, which are providing by hostel is misuse by the other people. It does not reach to student. Hostel has also provided some extra facility like television, Wi-Fi, computer, etc.
