Abstract

The University system promotes social life style that give room for people of diverse backgrounds to interact. However, students who are away from watchful eyes of their family engage in unripe social behaviours on campus such as campus courtship. Thus, the study was purposed to examine perceived influence of demographic variables on campus courtship among university undergraduates in Kwara State. The study adopted a descriptive survey. Simple random sampling technique was used to select two universities and 226 undergraduates participated in the study. The study revealed that there is no significant difference in the perceived influence of demographic variables on campus courtship among university undergraduates except for family type. Hence, parents should supervise and pay regular visits to their children in the university.
