摘要:AbstractThis study aims to clarify the explanatory factors and the extent to which those factors help to predict the overall residential satisfaction among students living off-campus, as one of the major elements or attributes of their quality of life. This survey utilized a stratified sample of individuals with a self-reported questionnaire which was administered to 341 non-resident (NR) students, in seven groups of neighborhoods (differing in various features) in the city of Shah Alam. In the analytic process, a Factor Analysis procedure is applied to reduce the data set and to uncover the relationships between various factors and dimensions of the students’ residential satisfaction. Descriptive results show a degree of satisfaction with each level of the residential environment (house, neighborhood and city).
