I. Introduction
Some universities require students to live in dormitory at the
college environment on the basis that living on dormitory campus leads to
better classroom performance. It is widely believe that students can acquire
academic benefits from living on campus. According to James Murray (Murray,2010)
living on campus causes students to be less likely to drop out or transfer,
more likely to make academic progress, and more capable of achieving a high
level of academic performance. The idea of conducting this study start when I
saw the improvement of my friends’s english ability during they lived in
dormitory. This reason encourages me to conduct the study related to the
efficiency of living in dormitory in improving their English ability.

to answer the question “how far implementation of english activities in
dormitory can improve students english ability”. This study aims to know the
students perception toward implementation of English activities at Uin

program that emphasized the students to obey the rule, one of the program is
