I. INTRODUCTION
Access to well-equipped and properly maintained facilities is effective in fostering a
conducive and enriching learning environment for students. The utilization of these facilities
goes beyond mere convenience; it directly impacts students' academic success and overall
growth. In the context of BatStateU Pablo Borbon Campus, where the emphasis is on providing
quality education and holistic development, the effective utilization of university facilities
becomes even more crucial. These facilities act as catalysts that amplify students' learning
experiences, allowing them to explore their potential, expand their knowledge, and cultivate
essential skills for their future endeavors. Nonetheless, it remains crucial to evaluate the efficacy
of university facility utilization among students at BatStateU Pablo Borbon Campus to fully state
their impact and effectiveness.
It was widely recognized that a significant advantage of university facilities is the
opportunity they offer for practical, hands-on experiences. By utilizing well-equipped
laboratories, students can apply their theoretical knowledge and acquire practical skills. For
instance, at Batangas State University, science laboratories provide students with opportunities to
enhance their understanding in science-based programs. These laboratories are equipped with
necessary apparatus and supervised by instructors during experiments. In addition, the BatStateU
2
Pablo Borbon Campus provides various laboratories such as the Computer Laboratory, Skills
Laboratory, Kitchen Laboratory, Physics Laboratory, and Biology Laboratory, each serving
unique functions and purposes to support student learning. Besides that, specialized facilities like
libraries also play a vital role in students' skill development. Batangas State University's libraries
offer a wide range of resources, such as books, journals, and research papers, facilitating
independent study and research. Access to these resources enables students to refine their
information literacy skills, enhance their research capabilities, and evaluate and synthesize
information effectively. Furthermore, university facilities create a collaborative learning
environment that encourages active engagement, collaboration, and discussions among students.
Purpose-designed spaces like classrooms and service areas promote the exchange of ideas and
knowledge through group assignments. Collaborative activities foster peer learning, allowing
students to draw on diverse perspectives and deepen their understanding. Communication skills,
teamwork, and appreciation for different viewpoints are honed through collaboration, fostering a
sense of cooperation and community. In addition, Batangas State University's facilities can
accommodate various events, including seminars, competitions, and guest lectures. The
Amphitheater, located on the 3rd floor of the CITE Building, can accommodate 600 to 800
participants, providing an ideal venue for large-scale gatherings. The CITE Training Room offers
a space for focused and interactive sessions, with a capacity of 100 to 150 participants. These
3
facilities enable students to engage with industry experts, enhancing their learning experiences.
In general sense, utilizing university facilities at BatStateU Pablo Borbon Campus offers
a multitude of benefits that can positively impact students' academic journey. These facilities
provide a practical learning experience that complements their theoretical knowledge, enabling
them to acquire essential skills and competencies. Moreover, these facilities create a
collaborative learning environment where students can engage and discuss ideas, refining their
communication and teamwork skills. Despite the general benefits of these facilities, it is crucial
to evaluate the effectiveness of facility utilization from the perspective of BatStateU Pablo
Borbon students to gain valuable insights and further enhance the utilization of these resources.
Thus this research aims to delve into the benefits, challenges, and potential improvements,
providing a deeper understanding of how university facilities contribute to students' academic
growth and development.

The main objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the utilization of
university facilities by BatStateU Pablo Borbon students.
Specifically, the research aims to investigate:
1. In terms of the facilities provided by the Batangas State University, which ones do
students utilize and how often?
2. What do you think are the benefits of utilizing university facilities?
3. What are the challenges or limitations that students may encounter when using the
university facilities?
4. Are there any recommendations for improving the university facilities? If so, what
specific measures or approaches would be suggested for enhancing them?

III. GATHERING PROCEDURE
The gathering procedure plays a critical role in researching the effectiveness of
university facility utilization by students at BatStateU Pablo Borbon Campus. It enables direct
engagement between researchers and students, providing valuable insights into their experiences,
opinions, and suggestions related to the research topic. In particular, conducting interviews with
five participants from different colleges within the campus allows researchers to gather data that
is essential for evaluating facility effectiveness from diverse perspectives. By collecting students'
feedback and suggestions, researchers can identify areas in need of improvement and make
informed recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of the facilities. Below are the
systematic approach that can be followed to collect data for the effectiveness of the utilization of
university facilities by students at Batangas State University (BatStateU) Pablo Borbon Campus:
6
1. Define the research objectives: Defining research objectives is important in the data
gathering process. They provide focus, ensuring that researchers collect the necessary data
and understand why it is needed. Objectives also ensure data relevance by determining
specific information and variables related to the study. They influence the choice of data
collection methods, aiding researchers in selecting appropriate techniques. Clear objectives
streamline data gathering, promoting efficiency and resource optimization. Objectives also
provide a framework for data analysis, facilitating organization and interpretation. In this
case, the objective of the study is to assess the effectiveness of the utilization of university
facilities by BatStateU Pablo Borbon students.
2. Identify the sampling method and target participant: It is crucial to identify the particular
group of students at BatStateU Pablo Borbon Campus that will be the primary focus of the
research. For this study, it is necessary for the participants in the interviews to be selected
from various colleges within the campus. The sampling that was used in this study is
purposive sampling. Purposive sampling is a non-random sampling technique where
participants are selected intentionally based on specific characteristics or criteria that are
relevant to the research objectives. In this case, the researchers purposefully select
participants who are BatStateU Pablo Borbon students to gather data that represents the target
7
population. The selection of participants may consider factors such as their college
affiliation, experiences with utilizing university facilities, and their perspectives on the
effectiveness of these facilities.
3. Develop research instruments: In the research study "Effectiveness of the Utilization of
University Facilities to BatStateU Pablo Borbon Students," interviews are conducted as part
of the data gathering procedure. The interviews aim to gather qualitative data directly from
the students to gain insights into their experiences, opinions, and suggestions regarding the
utilization of university facilities. The researchers select participants which are a BatStateU
Pablo Borbon student using the purposive sampling. The interviews are conducted with a
specific group of students who come from different colleges within the campus to ensure
diverse perspectives are represented. During the interviews, the researchers ask questions
related to the effectiveness of the facilities, any challenges or limitations students may face
when using them, and their feedback and suggestions for improvement. The interview
responses are recorded and transcribed for further analysis and to identify common themes
and patterns. The insights gathered from the interviews contribute to evaluating the
effectiveness of the university facilities from the students' point of view and provide valuable
information for making recommendations to enhance their utilization. The following
8
interview questions are the ones that were presented to the participants:
INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

Uhm im Patricia Mae A. Maranan from BSA , Uh 2nd year, CABEIHM department
Actual answer:
● Uhm madalas kong ginagamit is itong library kasi uh gaya ngayon kapag need namin na
maaga kami magkikita kita ng mga classmate ko, ganun.
Translation:
● Uh, I often use this library because, like now, when we need to meet early, my classmates
and I gather there.
15
Actual answer:
● Uhm kagaya nitong sa library syempre kagaya halimbawa na nagdodorm lang, usually
bawal mag stay dun sa mga apartments or dorm ng mga kaklase namin so itong library
ginagamit namin kapag need naman na mag group activity uh sa hindi classroom, yun.
Translation:
● Uh, just like in the library, for example, when we're just dorming, usually it's not allowed
to stay in our classmates' apartments or dorms. So we use this library when we need to
have a group activity outside the classroom, you know.
Actual answer:
● Uhm minsan kapag sobrang full nung mga tables dito edi syempre nahihirapan na kami
kung saan kami pupwesto kaya napipilitan kami na sa canteen na lang mag ano mag stay
or magaral or kaya dun sa may tawag dito, dun sa may tapat ng CTE.
Translation:
● Uh, sometimes when the tables here are fully occupied, of course, we have a hard time
16
finding a place to sit. So we're forced to stay in the canteen to study or in the area in front
of CTE.
needs?
Actual answer:
● Uhm siguro kung pag dating naman dito sa library siguro pwedeng dagdagan yung tables
ganun kasi lalo na kung maraming students yung gumagamit ng library kasi diba meron
din tayong uhm senior high schools na dito din sila gumagamit, so yun.
Translation:
● Uhm, maybe when it comes to the library, maybe the tables can be increased because
that's especially true, if there are many students who use the library because we also have
uhm senior high schools who also use it, so that's it.
for its students?
Actual answer:
● Uhm syempre kaakibat nung quality education is yung paggamit ng mga quality or
17
magagandang facilities na meron kasi diba it affects yung kung paano mag-work yung
mga students or yung mga tao so kung mas maganda yung environment then mas
maganda or mas productive yung gagawin nila
Translation:
● Uhm, of course quality education is associated with the use of quality or good facilities
because it affects how students or people work, so if the environment is better then what
they do will be better or more productive.
Actual answer:
● Uhm itong library kasi kung makikita naman halos ng students dito nagwowork or dito
gumagawa ng school works
Translation:
● Uhm, the library because you can almost see students working here or doing school work
here
18
Actual answer:
● Uhm siguro yung ano- yung computer lab dito sa baba kasi diba bago lang siya pero hindi
siya ganun alam ng students na merong na palang ganun, kaya yun- kaya siyempre pag
pumupunta ka dito sa library saka mo lamang malalaman na may ganun computer lab
dito
Translation:
● Uh, perhaps the computer lab downstairs could be promoted more to the students because
it's relatively new, and not everyone is aware that it exists. So, when you come to the
library, you only discover that there is a computer lab here.

Actual answer:
● Uh, utilizing a university facilities is a top notch and kailangan talaga throughout time
time, throughout the time ang students mina-maximize talaga yung paggamit ng mga
university facilities because ah first and for most lahat ng yan, yung mga tinatayong
building, yung mga equipments na ginagamit natin, it’s, it’s for the betterment of the
learning opportunities that students have, yun.

ano wifi site because though merong, merong sufficient, though ang wifi natin is like
university wide you know, ah, syempre sa dami din naman siguro ng mga students, may
mga instances na di gumagana yung wifi kaya minsan dito sa, kapag nag oonline class

needs?
Actual answer:
● Uh, I think I understand naman na yung administration ah sets, sets and has processes in
terms of fiscal, administrative when it comes to, like those things, that syempre alam
naman natin may mga pinapagawang building like etong tent, yung tent sa may building,
meron pang med school na ginagawa, meron pang dormitory, so I understand that there is
some budget contains when it comes to other priorities and programs pero ang pinaka
mahalaga dito is, kailangan yung administration natin has an optimize and balance
prioritization when it comes to things, so kung, kung ano ba yung dapat na mas unahin,
na bilhin, nai equip, na ibuild, yun dapat yung anuhin kasi at the end of the day, ang
pinaka ang magbebenefit naman dito ay ang mga students natin.

fiscal, administrative when it comes to, like those things, that of course we know that
there are buildings being built like this tent, the tent in the building , there is still a med
23
school being built, there is still a dormitory, so I understand that there is some budget
contains when it comes to other priorities and programs but the most important thing here
is that our administration needs to have an optimize and balance prioritization when it
comes to things, so if, what should be prioritized, to be bought, to be equipped, to be
built, that should be the priority because at the end of the day, the ones who will benefit
the most from this are our students.

parang magiging safe space, safe space and very comfortable space ang mga university
facilities primarily yung library, yung mga classrooms natin, sana mas maging student
friendly, student accommodating para ah mas mapabuti yung pag-aaral ng mga students
dito sa university.
24

accommodating so that the study will be better of students here at the university
Actual Answer:
● Oh, coming ah almost like 10 months, 10 to 9 months here in the university, the most
useful for me i think is the library because as an acading person ah, ah, medyo nanibago
ako because ah nung high school ako hindi kami, ang ginagawa lang namin talaga sa
library is tumambay like you know, alam nyo naman nung high school, but definitely in
the university, yung library nila ay very top notch and yung mga ano kaya makipag
kompetensya sa mga ibang university, imagine ah in context dito sa pablo Borbon
campus, meron tayong cyberspace uh like yun talaga yung pinaka ginagamit ko dito,
yung cyberspace talaga na ah although one hour lang sya na paggamit sa ano, maganda
25
pa din sya, kas- kase nakakatulong sya sa pagreresearch, sa pag oonline class and most
especially of course yung mga books dito talaga ah magagamit mo and syempre dagdag
na din yung lamig ng aircon dito kapag trip mo tumambay at yun matulog minsan but
anyway ah yung library talaga yung pinaka sa tingin ko dito yung ah yung tip ah sa mga
incoming freshman na sana mautilize nila ng ayos para sa kanilang pag-aaral.
Translation:
● Oh, coming ah almost like 10 months, 10 to 9 months here in the university, the most
useful for me i think is the library because as an acading person ah, ah, I changed a bit
because ah when I was in high school we didn't, the The only thing we really do in the
library is hang out like you know, you know in high school, but definitely in the
university, their library is very top notch and what can compete with other universities,
imagine that in context here pablo Borbon campus, we have a cyberspace uh like that's
really what I use the most here, it's really the cyberspace ah although it's only used for
one hour for what, it's still beautiful, because it helps in researching, in taking online
classes and most especially of course the books here you can really use and of course the
air conditioner is extra cold here when you trip and hang out and sleep sometimes but
anyway the library is really what I think the most here is the tip for the incoming
freshman, I hope they will use it properly for their studies.

26
Actual answer:
● Oh okay, uh definitely ang unang pumapasok talaga sa isip ko ay yung mga cr’s natin
because uh, talagang, well tip ko lang din sana yung mga cr’s ngayon sana may mga bidet
na talaga, dito sa library i think wala pang bidet pero sana magkameron na but ah
thinking much harder kung alam mo yung dito, parang sa tapat ng university library, yung
dating university library, yung parang some sort of museum , yung parang very 90’s vibe,
yung may mga windows na may mga cabin shells, uh feeling ko yung very hindi naman
sa very, yung underutilized na sana, kasi parang ang iniisip ko maging some sort of
Student building sya ng ub na sana may makita tayo ditong ah facility sa university na
student facilitated yung alam let’s say pwede dun maggawa ng mga tv sessions. Mga
kapehan sessions, yung alam, dun sa facility na yun maging very student vibe, very
tambayan,not only kasi although maganda sa library talaga, eto yung pinaka dabest pero
sana magkaroon tayo dito ng facilities na ah alam mo yun yung very student vibe na ah
lahat ng mga student activities as much as possible dun na gagawa, pwede dun na talaga
as in mag aral na parang 24/7 kung ba ga yung kahit gabi pwede sya dun mag aral tapos
iba pa rin talaga pag dito ka sa university nag aaral, nagrereview kasi mas nakakapag
27
focus ka, and mas natutuon ang focus mo para magreview talaga at para mas maging
better ang learning outcomes mo.
Translation:
● Oh okay, uh definitely the first thing that really comes to my mind is our cr's because uh,
really, well I just wish that the cr's now really have bidets, here in the library I think there
are no bidets but I hope there will be Cameroon na but ah thinking much harder if you
know the one here, it's like in front of the university library, the old university library, the
one that looks like a some sort of museum, the one that looks like a very 90's vibe, the
one with windows with cabin shells, uh I feel that it's very It's not really, I hope it's
underutilized, because I think it's going to be a some sort of student building of the UB. I
hope we can see a facility here at the university that is student facilitated, let's say TV
sessions can be done there. Coffee sessions, you know, that facility has a very student
vibe, a very hangout, not only because although it's really nice in the library, this is the
best but I hope we have facilities here, you know that's the very student vibe ah, all the
student activities will be done as much as possible, it's really possible to study there like
24/7 if it's even at night he can study there but it's really different when you're here at the
university studying , you review because you can focus better, and your focus is more
focused to really review and to make your learning outcomes better.

Actual answer:
● For me, siguro yung ating canteen kasi nagkakasabay na ang highschool at college ng
39
pagpunta so sobrang sikip kailangan siguro medyo ipalakihin pa siguro at lagyan ng mga
- ng mga way baga kung saan dapat pumunta at dapat kailangan pag nakakain na siguro
umalis na muna kasi may mga susunod pa. Yun po, siguro para sakin ayun, thank you.
Translation:
● For me, maybe our canteen because the high school and college students go at the same
time so it's too crowded, maybe it needs to be a little bigger and put some - some signs on
where to go and it should be necessary when you're done eating, maybe leave first
because there are more people to come. That's it for me, thank you.

Translation:
● Uhm, often, it's like the bathroom and the library, especially now that our exams are near,
and the bathroom is always used whenever we're here at school.
41
Actual answer:
● Uhm depende po kagaya po nitong library very.. Very uhm nag-gigive ng benefit po sa
aming mga students para po sa- makapagfocus po sa studies po namin, ayun po
Translation:
● Uhm, it depends, like this library which very- very gives benefits to us students to be able

Translation:
● Uhm, maybe the signage is not enough because some students are not following it. There
is a need for a public announcement, and maybe the school can talk to the students
directly to make them understand the importance of following the rules. I'm not sure, but
perhaps it would be better if the reminder comes directly from BSU. What was the
43
question again? Yes, I understand.

Translation:
● There are other facilities here in BSU, like in the Higher Education Building, where we
are not allowed to enter. Sometimes, in places like the library, it's also crowded, and we
cannot focus when there are too many people. It would be better if we could access other
facilities even if we’re from the lower grades.
Actual answer:
44
● Eto pong library uh.. ah pinaka useful sakin na facility kasi dito din po kami madalas
tumambay lalo na po kapag sa room po minsan super init tapos sobrang maingay dito po
sa library nakakahelp po na magfocus ang mga estudyante
Translation:
● This library is the most useful facility for me because we often stay here, especially when
our room is very hot and noisy. Being in the library helps students focus.
Interviewer: tapos going back lang pala dun sa number 4, may issue ka ba sa wifi ng
school?
Translation: Then, going back to number 4. Do you have an issue with the wifi in school?

room nakiki-access ay sobrang hina na po
Translation:
● I see. Yes, I have an issue with the wifi in school. Sometimes, it's hard to load websites or
45
use data even when the wifi is installed in our room because there are many users,
including those from other rooms, accessing it, and it has become very slow.
Actual answer:
Hmmm, siguro po ay bathrooms po, feeling ko po ay hindi pa po siya sapat sa kung gaano kalaki
po itong university sobrang uh konti palang din po pati po yung mga stalls kasi minsan po
naghahalo halo yung mga college students, highscool students, elementary students po soo, yun

Translation:
Hmm, I think the bathrooms are not sufficient for the size of the university. There are only a few
stalls and sometimes they get mixed up with college students, high school students, and
elementary students, so it's not enough for everyone.

V. CONCLUSION
This study aims to provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of the utilization of
university facilities by BatStateU Pablo Borbon students, as well as recommendations for
improving these facilities to better support student success and overall well-being. When
students have access to well-equipped and properly maintained facilities, they are more likely to
be motivated, engaged, and successful in their academic pursuits. Good facilities provide
students with a conducive and enriching learning environment, allowing them to explore their
potential, expand their knowledge, and cultivate essential skills for their future endeavors.
Moreover, the quality of facilities in an institution like Batangas State University can influence
the perception and reputation of the institution. Good facilities attract and retain high-quality
students and faculty, which in turn, can enhance the overall academic performance of the
institution and their students.
The findings from the interviews conducted show that facilities in BSU Pablo
Borbon Campus play an essential role in students' academic success and overall growth. The
study found that the library is the most useful facility for all departments in BSU, and its benefits
47
go beyond its quiet surroundings. The library also provides a place for students to cool off during
hot weather, and its many air-conditioners make it an ideal spot for studying. The university
library is a vital resource for students, providing access to a wide range of resources, academic
support, a quiet study environment, and access to technology. These benefits ultimately
contribute to promoting academic success and overall growth among students in Batangas State
University. This supports previous research that highlights the importance of libraries in
promoting student success.
The laboratories are also identified as useful for nursing students, especially
during their return demos. This finding emphasizes the importance of having specialized
facilities that cater to the specific needs of different departments. Laboratories are essential
facilities that provide a hands-on learning experience for students, especially in fields such as
nursing, science, and engineering. They allow students to apply theoretical knowledge in a
practical setting, enhancing their understanding of the subject matter. For nursing students,
laboratories provide an opportunity to practice and develop skills such as patient care,
medication administration, and vital sign monitoring. The availability of laboratories specifically
designed for nursing students ensures that they can acquire the necessary skills and experience
needed to succeed in their future nursing careers.
48
While the university canteen may not immediately come to mind as a facility that
promotes academic success, it can actually play an important role in students' overall well-being
and learning experience. The university canteen provides students with a comfortable place to
take breaks and relax during their busy schedules. This can help alleviate stress and improve
their mental health, which can ultimately enhance their academic performance. Additionally, the
availability of healthy and nutritious food options in the university canteen can have a significant
impact on students' physical health, energy levels, and concentration. A well-stocked canteen can
also help prevent students from leaving campus in search of food, reducing the risk of tardiness
or absenteeism.
Despite the benefits of the facilities in BSU Pablo Borbon Campus, the study also
revealed some challenges and limitations that students encounter when using them. One
significant issue is the slow wifi connection. The slow wifi connection is a significant issue that
affects students' ability to access online resources. In the modern digital age, access to fast and
reliable internet is crucial for students to succeed in their academic pursuits. Slow wifi
connection not only hinders their ability to access online resources but also impacts their
productivity and overall learning experience.
Limited capacity in some facilities, such as the library, has also been identified as a
49
challenge. This forces some students to study in the canteen, which may not be a conducive
environment for learning. Furthermore, studying in the canteen may not be an ideal alternative as
it can be noisy and distracting, making it challenging to concentrate on studies. This environment
may not provide the same level of quietness, privacy, and comfort that students require to focus
on their academic work. This can have a significant impact on their academic success, as they
may not have access to the resources they need to complete their assignments and research. The
need to improve the canteen's capacity is essential to create a better learning environment for
students.
Additionally, the study identified hygiene issues in comfort rooms. When comfort
rooms are not adequately maintained, students may be exposed to a range of health risks,
including infectious diseases. This finding emphasizes the importance of maintaining clean and
well-maintained facilities to promote student well-being. The university must take proactive
measures to address these hygiene issues by ensuring that the comfort rooms are cleaned and
maintained regularly. Providing access to basic hygiene amenities, such as soap and clean water,
can also go a long way in promoting hygiene and reducing the risk of illness.
Based on the issues identified in the study, several recommendations can be made
to improve facility utilization in Batangas State University, Pablo Borbon Campus:
50
Firstly, the university should prioritize improving the campus's internet
connectivity. The university can also consider increasing the number of access points across the
campus to ensure that the internet is accessible in all areas. This can be achieved by installing
additional routers and repeaters in strategic locations to provide wider coverage. The university
wifi is efficient for students who have online classes. Moreover, the university can explore the
option of providing dedicated high-speed internet connections in certain facilities, such as the
library and classroom, to ensure that students have access to high-speed internet whenever they
need it.
Secondly, the university should consider expanding the capacity of facilities that
are frequently utilized, such as the library and the canteen, to accommodate more students.
Expanding the capacity of frequently utilized facilities such as the library and canteen is crucial
in ensuring that students have access to a conducive learning environment. The university can
explore the possibility of constructing new buildings or renovating existing ones to provide
additional space. This can involve adding more floors or wings to existing buildings, or
constructing new ones altogether. The university can also consider extending the operating hours
of the library and canteen to provide students with more time to access these facilities.
Thirdly, hygiene and cleanliness should be maintained in comfort rooms by
51
implementing regular cleaning and maintenance schedules. This can involve assigning a team
responsible for cleaning the restrooms multiple times a day. The team can also ensure that there
are adequate supplies such as tissue paper, soap, and hand sanitizer available in the restrooms.
Additionally, the university can consider installing air fresheners to keep the restrooms smelling
fresh and clean. This should be done in old buildings which have the most outdated comfort
rooms. The university can also involve the students in maintaining the cleanliness of the
restrooms, specially in the Integrated School building. This can be done by educating them on
the importance of keeping the restrooms clean and providing a mechanism for reporting any
maintenance issues or violations. Moreover, the university can invest in upgrading the facilities
in the restrooms such as installing automatic faucets, soap dispensers, and air hand dryers to all
buildings, faculty, and departments.
Lastly, the university can also consider conducting surveys and focus group
discussions to gather feedback from students on the facilities and their utilization. This will
enable the university to identify areas that need improvement and develop solutions that cater to
the specific needs of students. Regular surveys and feedback mechanisms can provide valuable
insights into the effectiveness of current facility utilization and highlight areas that require
attention. These surveys can be conducted through various means, such as online questionnaires,
52
suggestion boxes, or focus group discussions. By gathering feedback from students, the
university can gain a better understanding of their needs and preferences, and prioritize
improvement efforts accordingly. Additionally, involving students in the decision-making
process can increase their sense of ownership and promote a culture of collaboration and
engagement within the university community.
