The purpose of this study was to suggest a proper function, appropriate area per person, and space programs for university student housing by conducting an area comparison between the existing and new university student housing. For the analysis, site visits were conducted at 10 student housing of 5 universities, and drawings were collected and compared. Each space
within a student housing building was categorized as personal unit space, common space and circulation space. About a 10-year gap between the existing and new student housing seems to be related to the changes in the bedroom types, plan types, and space programs in the area calculations and analysis of the floor plan. The suggested area per person and the ratio of the three space types provide guidelines for the proper function and area for new and to-be-remodeled buildings. The findings of this study were as follows: 2 person per 1 bedroom was preferred to others and the typical floor plan has been updated from the double corridor type to the apartment type which shares livingroom, bathroom, restroom and a showerbetween bedrooms. Also, student housing is getting complex and is growing in size. Unit community formed by student housing that combines 2 to 4 person per 1 bedroom floor plan can help students with identity and affiliation formation.
Furthermore, circulation space can serve to connect common and personal space and facilitate communication among the tenants. Nevertheless, more research on the common space which provides support, study, and social spaces in the housing to make the students' life better in quality is greatly needed.
