Abstract: – The study was carried out at Shehu Sule College of Nursing and Midwifery, Damaturu, Yobe State with the aim of assessing the effects of learning environment on students’ academic performance. The design adopted for this study was ‘descriptive design’, and the target population comprises of all students (335 students) and staffs (70) of college making a total of 405 populations. A sample size of 80 was derived using 20% of the study population for the study. The technique for drawing the samples from the target population was ‘stratified random sampling’. The findings show that the dominant home language of the respondents is Hausa, and the learning environment has a positive effect on students’ academic performance. However, collaborative learning, allowing students to brain storm and bring out their learning objectives and integrating computer technology into academic learning are most effective means of promoting learning. It is recommended that the selection of students into Nursing and Midwifery programs should be strictly adhered to College edict so as the candidates should not be over populated; and also various strategies should be introduced in other to maintain quality assurance in higher education. An educational audit should be carried out after every block, or whenever the need arises.
