I. Introduction
In recent years, the trend of choosing rental accommodations has emerged as
a significant aspect of student life at Hanoi University (HANU), reflecting
broader changes in urban living, educational pursuit, and personal
preference. As the student population at HANU continues to diversify, so too
do their accommodation needs and preferences. This study aims to delve into
the multifaceted world of rental accommodations chosen by HANU students,
examining the various factors influencing their decisions, including but not
limited to financial considerations, location proximity to the university,
available amenities, and personal lifestyle choices.
Incorporating such pivotal findings, our study aims to further probe into the
accommodation preferences of HANU students, with a particular focus on
how these preferences align with or diverge from broader trends observed in
other Vietnamese urban centers. By doing so, it endeavors to offer nuanced
insights that could assist various stakeholders—including university
administrations, housing providers, and policymakers—in devising
strategies that align more closely with the needs and preferences of the
student body.
2. Questionnaire design
To gain information, our project was conducted by delivering an online
questionnaire to random students. To gather information for this project, a
questionnaire is considered the most effective tool because the respondents
have enough time to think and evaluate each option before answering
questions, which can guarantee the data’s reliability. Based on this
evaluation, a set of questionnaires that can collect both quantitative and
qualitative data was designed to ask for students’ opinions on some factors
affecting the choice of the types of rental accommodation among HANU
students. In particular, the process of collecting data is divided into two main
sections. The first part is spent on personal identity to ensure the reliable
source of data derived for the project. The first four questions that
participants are required to provide are their personal information, including
their name, gender, student ID,... The other section consists of a list of seven
questions to get information serving for the Hypothesis testing and
descriptive statistics of our project.
1. What type of housing are you currently living in?
2. How much is the rent per month?
3. How much is the utilities per month? (include electricity, water, wifi,
service bill)
4. How long is the distance from the boarding house to your university?
2
5. Do you have roommates?
6. Rate your level of satisfaction with the house you have rented
7. Rate your level of priorities when renting a house
In detail, the five questions are some general questions designed with the
purpose of analyzing HANU’s students’ information about their rental
houses. Next, question 6 and 7 to evaluate the factors affecting choosing the
types of rental accommodation among HANU students. This form of
questions designed for the quick survey is tied to the purpose and assumption
of the report to get the most realistic and meaningful results for our
evaluation.
3. Sample size
Theoretically, the estimated results will be more accurate regardless of the
sample size. We were unable to evaluate a big sample size as a result of
several types of reasons. To accomplish the primary objectives of this study,
it was determined that our project would be concentrated on a sample of 100
randomly selected HANU students.

III. Descriptive results and finding Commented [4]: oo nma Ngueyt cũng làm phần này à
This section outlines the results of the survey conducted to learn about the trend of
choosing the types of rental accommodation among HANU students.
The pie chart displays the results of a survey asking the question "Are you renting
a place to live?". There were 131 responses to the survey. According to the chart,
23.7% of the respondents answered "Yes" while the majority, 76.3%, answered
"No". We might say that the odds ratio of a respondent renting versus not renting
is approximately 0.31 (23.7% divided by 76.3%), which suggests that not renting
is more common than renting within the sample surveyed.
5
The pie chart shows the information about the type of housing that Hanoi
University’s students are living in. Room rentals dominate at 38%, which may
reflect the high level of flexibility and access to finance in this segment. Next is the
mini apartment type, accounting for 32%, providing an independent living solution
at a relatively low price. The choice of renting an apartment accounts for only 8%,
which may prove that although apartments can provide many amenities, the price
may not be the optimal choice for students. The homestay type also only accounts
for a small proportion of 8%, possibly due to its short-term nature and lack of
privacy. Overall, student rental trends clearly show a preference for cost and
flexibility. This is reflected in the high rate of renting rooms and mini apartments
compared to other options.
Figure 3: Rental cost that Hanu students have to pay per month
This pie chart displays the results of a survey asking the question “How much is
the rent
per month?”. There were 100 responses to the survey. According to the chart, 49%
of the respondents paid 1.000.000 VND - 2.000.000 VND per month for renting a
house while the majority, 10% just paid less than 1.000.000 VND per month. Based
on this result, it is very clear that most students at Hanoi University have an income
suitable for this rental price (1.000.000 VND - 2.000.000 VND), or that this is the
limit of the rental payment they feel comfortable with.
6
Figure 4: Services fee that Hanu students have to pay per month
The pie chart shows the cost that Hanoi university students have to pay for the
utilities per month (including electricity, water, wifi, and service bill). According
to the chart, the most popular type is priced under 500,000 VND, using nearly a
half-rate of 47%. This shows that this price is the most preferred by renters in the
surveyed area. Meanwhile, only a few students (5%) have to pay over 2,000,000
VND per month for service fees. In general, from the chart, it can be seen that
students' needs for electricity, water, etc. consumption are at a moderate or low
level.
7
Figure 5: Distance from HANU students’ rental house to the university
The pie chart gives information about the distance from the rental house to the
University of the respondents. Among 100 students who did the survey, almost 50%
of students chose to live near their university less than 1 km away. The distance
from 1-3 km also takes a considerable proportion which is 30%, followed by 10%
of students who lived more than 5 km away from their school. The choice with the
least number of students is the 3-5 km distance. According to this chart, most of
the students prioritized the near distance between their rental house and their
university and approximately 80% of the students chose to live less than 5km away
from their school.
The chart shows the rate of students who chose to share their rental rooms with
others. The majority of students have at least one roommate with approximately
90%. The 13% left is the number of students who chose to live alone. Through the
survey results, it is clear that most of the students chose house sharing as a way to
reduce the rental and service fees.

Figure 7: Level of satisfaction with the rental houses of HANU students
The graph demonstrates the level of satisfaction with each factor of students’ rental
houses. The security sector is on top of satisfaction with 60 votes, followed by the
distance sector with more than 50 votes and after that, the satisfaction about the
host ranks third with more than 40 votes. The fourth and fifth places are the
infrastructure and the price with approximately 40 votes. The neighborhood sector
is at the bottom. However, most of the students feel neutral about the neighborhood.
Many of them also feel neutral about other criteria. The most dissatisfied sector is
the distance and the price and the least dissatisfied is the security sector.
9
Figure 8: Degree of prioritizing different factors of rental housing
This bar graph illustrates how HANU students prioritize each criterion of their
rental house. The top important factors are the rental price and security. The rental
price is considered “very important” and “important” with 50 votes and 40 votes
respectively (90 votes in total). The second prioritized sector is the security sector
with less than 90 votes in terms of important criteria and more than 30 votes as
“very important”. The distance and infrastructure sector ranks third with more
neutral votes than the top 2. The host and neighborhood are the bottom sectors to
prioritize as they had the least “important“ and “very important” votes and the most
“neutral” and “unimportant” votes.
2. Hypothesis Tests
2.1. Assumption checking
● There are two categorical outcomes: “Yes” is for those who rent a place to live
while “No” is for those who do not rent a place to live. There are two qualitative
outcomes in this test question from our survey; as a result, this data type is
qualitative, and we can not calculate the mean. It indicates that the method of Z
test population proportion will be applied. In this method, the parameter of
interest is the proportion population p, and the point estimator of this parameter
is the population sample 𝑝̂.
● Population follows binomial distribution:
- The research comprises 131 identical trials, each of which contains one
respondent’s response.
- Each trial has two outcomes: “Yes” is denoted success and “No” is denoted
as failure.
- In all of the trials, the probability of “Yes” outcome and “No” outcome is the
same.
- The trials are independent because each respondent answered the question
independently and separately.
● After doing the survey, we have the result:
11
Yes No
100 31
Let 𝑝̂ be the sample proportion of Hanoi University students who rent a place to
live.
Therefore, we have:
𝑝̂ = 100/131 = 0.763
The sample size (n) is 131 students, and the hypothesized population proportion
(po) is 0.90; therefore the following conditions are satisfied:
● n×po = 131×0.90 = 117.9 > 5
● n× (1-po) = 131×0.10 = 13.1 > 5
-> The sampling distribution of p could be considered a normal distribution
In fact, all the above information is to prove that we will use z – test for this
proportion
test.
2.2. Data analysis:
● The sample size: n = 131
● The number of successes: x = 100
● Sample proportion 𝑝̂ = 0.763
● Upper-tailed test
● Level of significant: ∝=0.05
2.3. Hypothesis testing procedure:
Step 1: Identification of null and alternative hypotheses
Ho: p ≤ 0.90
Ha: p > 0.90
🡺 This is an Upper-tailed test for proportion.
12
Step 2: Test statistics
𝑝̂−𝑝̂𝑜 0.763−0.90
Z* = = ≈ -5.227
𝑝𝑜91−𝑝𝑜) 0.90(1−0.90)
√ 𝑛
√ 131
Step 6: Conclusion
Because Z*= -5.227 < Zα = 1.645 => We do not reject the null hypothesis (Ho)
Step 7: R Studio
n <- 131
p <- 0.9
if ("n*p < 5| n*(1-p) < 5")
return(print("one of the assumptions was not satisfied"))

This paper attempts to ascertain the rental trends of FMT students using information
gathered from a survey of 131 randomly selected students. The Z-test hypothesis at
a significance level of 5% allows us to conclude that the hypothesis testing findings
do not support the assumption made by our group. But a sizable portion of students
also opt to live in rental homes while they pursue their education.
V. Project evaluation
1. Limitations
Although our survey was completed and helped the research paper to answer the
main problems it concerned, which is about the trends of choosing types of rental
accommodation among HANU students, this survey still has some limitations.
Firstly, there is still a limitation in the number of respondents. Our survey has a
total of 131 respondents and this amount of people does not accurately reflect the
opinions of every HANU student but somehow partly.
Secondly, the survey was in Google form and handed out online, so perhaps some
people may not take it seriously and give dishonest answers. Moreover, the question
14
set was mostly multiple choice questions so it is not as flexible as other methods
like direct interviews to get the most accurate answers.
Finally, our question set has 12 questions which is still a limited number for
research. For these reasons, our group may not give an accurate description of the
issue.
2. Implications
Despite some limitations, completing the research paper did not cause us many
problems. As a result, we can demonstrate the major trends of how HANU students
choose types of rental accommodations. 76.3% of students who did the survey
currently live in a rental house.
Among the criteria of the rental rooms, most of the students prioritize the price, the
security, and the distance away from their university with almost 50% of them
voting for these categories. In addition, 87% of the students who are living in rental
rooms chose to have roommates. It is understandable because one of their top
priorities is the rental fees, so they chose to share the house with others to reduce
the financial burden. Besides, 1 minor students who have a better budget and prefer
privacy chose to live alone.
We hope that the project’s results will help HANU students and house rental
businesses in the HANU area to launch better types of housing with more
appropriate prices for the students.
