On the other hand, student dormitory is an essential accommodation Iacility to be provided by
University. However, not many universities Iurnish this Iacility. In Petra
Christian University, oII campus student accommodation have been built and
Managed by surrounding housing owner. The existing accommodation does not
Provide the study environment because they are separate Irom university Iacilities
Decision oI the President oI 40 (1981) cited that student dormitory is a residential
Environment Ior students to stay and possible to have other supporting Iacilities,
Such as: library, book shop, caIeteria, sport and other Iacilities which are managed
By students. Moreover, Matakupan (1994) mentioned that dormitory oIIer a room
with minimal two beds. In some university in Indonesia, the dormitory has been
used as a place Ior student training to achieve the vision and mission oI the
university.
Tjahjawati (1999) has done a survey on the market demand oI student dormitory
at Petra Christian University. The survey also analyzed the preIerences on room
type and Iacilities oI the student dormitory. As a result, the students like to
Occupy the two and three bedroom. The students choose their preIerences on
main and supporting Iacilities. Study room, dining room, and living room, common
room and kitchen are the main Iacilities. Phone booths, mini market, caIeteria,
Book shop, sport Iacilities and parking space are the supporting Iacilities.
