    (Kare Publ, 2010) Ozgur, Gonul; Babacan Gümüş, Aysun; Durdu, Banu
    Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate life satisfaction of university students living at home or in the dormitory. Methods: One hundred students living at home and 200 students residing in a dormitory who accepted to be involved in this research were the sample of the study. Data were collected by Student Introductory Information Form and Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS). Data were analyzed using number, percentage distribution, Student's t test, variance analysis, and Duncan test. Results: Eighty percent of the students were satisfied with living at home and 17% were satisfied with living in a dormitory. The mean LSS for students staying at home was 27.66 +/- 6.19 and for those living in a dormitory was 25.14 +/- 6.07, and the difference between the two groups was significant (t=-2.917, p<0.01). With respect to life satisfaction for those living at home, perception of economic status, satisfaction with living at home, and perceptions of mental health and life quality were determined to be the effective factors. With respect to life satisfaction of the students residing in a dormitory, perception of economic status, satisfaction with residing in a dormitory, and perceptions of physical and mental health, interpersonal relations and life quality were determined to be the effective factors. Conclusion: Students who assess their economic status, physical and mental health, interpersonal relations, and life quality as bad, and who are not satisfied with staying at home or in a dormitory have a lower level of life satisfaction. As a result, it is suggested that students should be supported in terms of physical, mental, social, and economic aspects, and a suitable living environment should be provided for them.
