With students staying in the university hostels, they will concentrate more on their academic activities than combining married life with academic life when they cohabit with their loved ones. 2. Tertiary institutions‟ management should work in partnership with non-governmental organizations (NGO‟s) to educate their students on sex and family life issues. This could be done in the form of counseling the students on the consequences of cohabitation viz-a-viz their level of concentration in school which goes a long way to adversely affect their academic performances. 3. Tertiary institutions, particularly Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijagun, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, should provide a plat-form on which parents of their students will be advised on the need for them to always find time to visit their wards/children on regular basis.
