Through globalization, the demand for high-quality education is increasing significantly, leading to rising competition among universities and colleges for enhancing educational services and attracting more students to enroll. Meanwhile, students are always looking for and demanding the most proper environments to experience education and have the foundation to find a job after graduation. This need leads to the tendency that education becomes a service that benefits both private education enterprises and their potential customers. Nevertheless, the private institutions might not have the reputation and sponsorship from the government as public universities. Therefore, the importance of studying the determinants of student satisfaction with the quality of services provided is increasingly essential and required for private educational institutions. This research aims to propose a research model in calculating the level of student satisfaction with the facility service quality in private institutions.
