Abstract:
It is of great interest and concern to human beings to know why we do
what we do in every sphere of life. Of particular interest is education because, it is
a key factor in the developmental process or, in the affairs of every developing
nation of which Ghana is one and that is what motivated the researcher into
finding out the issues Cape Coast Polytechnic students consider in choosing to
study at the Cape Coast Polytechnic.
Purposive sampling technique was used to select the students and
questionnaires were administered to them to solicit their responses. Some of the
students were contacted on campus and others in their private hostels. The main
multivariate technique employed in the analysis is factor analysis.
Among the interesting factors that Cape Coast Polytechnic students
consider in choosing to study at the school, a conducive environment or
atmosphere was realized to be their utmost concern, then the physical attraction of
Cape Coast.
