Abstract

The study investigated the perceptions and utilization of university services by the students of a Nigerian university. Two hundred and fifty undergraduates drawn from the two campuses of Ogun State University and four faculties took part in the study. The Students Perceptions and Utilisation of University Services Questionnaire (SPUUSQ) was used to collect data for the study. The data were analysed using the simple percentage and ·the chi-square statistic. The findings showed that none of the university services was adequate. On the one hand, feeding and catering, postal and academic affairs services were  considered to be fairly adequate Medical and health, guidance and counseling, library, bursary as well as sports and recreational services were considered inadequate. The study also showed that only medical and health services were being used frequently. Works and transport, postal, library, academic affairs, student affairs and bursary services were being used once in a while by the students. Also most of the students never used sports and recreation; accommodation; consultancy and verltures services. The research also revealed that the sex of students and campus location have no relationship with student utilization of university services.
