“…Over the past 35 years, several studies have reported evidence of positive relationships among persistence and campus facilities (e.g., libraries, labs, residence halls, classrooms), college choice, student satisfaction, and identification with the institution (Astin, 1973;Cain & Reynolds, 2006;Churchill & Iwai, 1981;Mallinckrodt & Sedlacek, 1987;Webster & Sedlacek, 1982;Zizzi, Ayers, Watson, & Keeler, 2004). As one would expect, academic facilities were reported by students to be of key importance.…”

This study examined the relationship of student use of campus recreation facilities (CRFs) with retention and graduation rates at a large, public, Midwestern Carnegie doctoral-extensive university. Tinto's interactionalist theory of student departure provided the conceptual framework. An extensive review of the literature on the relationship between academic performance and recreation facility use identified a set of critical explanatory predictors. Although anecdotal evidence and studies of student perceptions support the contention that use of CRFs promotes social integration, thereby increasing the likelihood of persistence, few studies have employed both 50

“…To ensure a positive connection with student success, the availability of recreational programming data is key for institutional recruitment and retention efforts (Kampf & Teske, 2013).

Many U.S. college campuses have ways in which users’ lives can be enriched through wellness efforts. Provision of wellness and recreational services through a state of the art or newly renovated recreation and wellness facility is one avenue. The primary goal of this study was to determine the level of campus recreation facility satisfaction and utilization outcomes among student users at a Midwestern U.S. institution. The Recreation Wellness Survey was designed and its items were successfully tested for reliability using Cronbach’s α. Study results revealed that student perceptions of satisfaction in key areas predicted their development of healthy habits and overall satisfaction. The study highlights the necessity of satisfaction with key aspects of campus recreational facilities in the development of utilization outcomes among student users.

“…Lindsey and Sessoms (2006) found that female students were more likely to participate in campus recreational sports, while juniors and seniors consider these campus recreational programs as an important indicator of college selection. In contrast, some past research (Barcelona & Ross, 2002;Terzioğlu & Yazıcı, 2003;Young et al, 2003;Zizzi et al, 2004;Balcı & İlhan, 2006;Tekin et al, 2007;Miller et al, 2008;Lindsey et al, 2009;Lindsey, 2012;de Jager & Gbadamosi, 2013) found that male students were more likely to be participants and other earlier studies (Watson II et al, 2006;Miller et al, 2008;Milton & Patton, 2011) showed that lower-division students (freshmen and sophomores) were more likely to participate in campus recreational facilities. However, earlier research (Shank & Beasley, 1998;Frauman, 2005;Clemes et al, 2008;Sökmen, 2011;Moosmayer & Siems, 2012) indicated that there were no differences in the perceived importance of quality of campus life facilities with respect to students' gender.…”

The main purpose of this paper was to determine the predictors of student satisfaction focusing on campus recreational sports and cultural facilities. The present study utilized data from a written-questionnaire administered to one thousand adult undergraduate students. The dependent variable used in predicting student satisfaction was satisfaction levels of the respondents. Due to the ordinal nature of the dependent variable, an ordered logit model was performed to determine demographic and socio-economic determinants of campus sports and cultural facility satisfaction. Ordered logit estimation results revealed that younger aged, higher income, tuition loan holder, classical or folk music listener students studying in social sciences were less likely to have higher satisfaction than their counterparts. In addition, for many selected services, most of the students declared their dissatisfaction. Although there is an increasing number of studies conducted on student satisfaction in the existing literature, studies focusing on campus sports and cultural facility satisfaction are limited. This study is probably the first attempt to examine the predictors of campus sports and cultural facility satisfaction in northeastern Turkey using one of the categorical data estimation method.
