Abstract
The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the application of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in the selection of students’ accommodations model. Against this backdrop, 8 experts in the field of students’ accommodation were selected from four tertiary institutions in Bauchi state to provide experts’ judgments on the best possible accommodation model from the four alternatives; on-campus in student’s hostels, off-campus in a leased property, off-campus school managed or off-campus private. Four (4) criteria; academic proximity, students discipline, maintenance cost and students security were chosen. Pair wise comparison of the criteria was done against the main objective and alternatives were compared against the criteria and the weights generated favored academic proximity among the criteria and traditional on-compass accommodation model from among the competing alternatives. Although the technique may be applied in selection of any form of accommodation but the result may not be generalized due to limitation in geographical coverage and small population.
