Abstract
The concept of quality of life broadly encompasses how individuals evaluate the goodness of multiple aspects of their lives, as there are a range of barriers to develop a meaningful understanding of quality of life (QoL). The purpose of this study is to identify factors that contribute to the quality of life of undergraduate students. The respondents of this cross-sectional sample were 273 undergraduate students from the School SSS, who were chosen using non-probability snowball sampling process. The collection of primary data was carried out using questionnaire, including demographic and quality of life questions. Analysis of the data was conducted through SPSS and Amos software. According to the analysis using Exploratory Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modelling, there are six factors that contribute to the QoL for the student, which are family, friends, academic, social wellbeing, physical and financial and environment.
