This research investigates the “dorm’s social climate perception and satisfaction of accommodation function in student residence hall: case study for an Institute of Technology”. Besides, the current status and relationship between the dorm’s social climate perception and satisfaction of accommodation function for the student residence hall are examined. Subsequently, the dorm’s social climate perception is utilized to predict the satisfaction of accommodation function.
In addition, this research adopts the questionnaire investigation and 5082 daytime students are selected as the target population by stratified random sampling. There are 1284 questionnaires distributed and 1277 questionnaires are retrieved. By excluding the invalid questionnaires, there are 985 valid samples for the research. Furthermore, the research tools include the “dorm’s social climate perception”, “questionnaire for the satisfaction of accommodation function” and basic personal information of the students. The total scale reliability are .913 and .981, respectively. Statistical data analysis is implemented with SPSS12.0. Then, statistical tests are conducted with descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation, and progressive multiple regression analysis.
Based on the information collected, it is revealed that:
1. In the case study, the dorm’s social climate perceived by the students have more “support”, “student’s self-determination”, and “independence” climate than “academic achievement”, “knowledge”, and “social interaction and competition” climate.
2. The satisfaction of accommodation function is above average. Additionally, the highest satisfaction is “recreational and social” function, followed by the “learning and development” function.
3. In the aspects of dorm’s social climate perception, there are significant differences in the variables which include personal background factor, dormitory halls, acknowledgement of compulsory accommodation, and frequency of returning home during the accommodation period.
4. In the aspects for satisfaction of accommodation function, there are significant differences for the variables which include academic year, educational system, level of participation in autonomy, dormitory halls and acknowledgement of compulsory accommodation.
5. There is significant positive relation between the “dorm’s social climate perception” and overall “satisfaction of accommodation function”. The variables of dorm’s social climate perception are explanatory for the total variance of 52% in the overall satisfaction of accommodation function. Among the variables of dorm’s social climate perception, “innovation” and “participation/adaptation” have the largest explanatory power toward the satisfaction of accommodation function in “living environment”, “recreational and social”, and “overall accommodation function”.
From the summary of the results, conclusion is made and the following suggestions are directed toward related dormitory counseling and service units, students, and parents.

6. Value the unique advantages of the school and demonstrate the characteristic of “compulsory accommodation”.
7. Integrate resources from the related units and actively implement the counseling activity for new dormitory students.
8. Pay attention to the difference in the satisfaction of dormitory students.
