This study aimed to investigate the quality of dormitory life in students living in Jahrom University of Medical Sciences. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 344 Students living in dormitories in Jahrom University of Medical Sciences.

Collected data were analyzed with SPSS 21 and using descriptive statistical methods (frequency, percent, mean, standard deviation, Independent t- test, and ANOVA). Results: The average age of the participants was 21.08 ± 1.2 years. The mean of the total quality of life was (93.73 ± 5.93), and 162 people (47.09%) were in a good level of quality of life. The highest mean was related to the physical health dimension (23.97 ± 2.16) and the lowest mean was related to the social relationship dimension (5.15 ± 1.27). The data showed that there is a significant relationship between mean of quality of life and marital status (p = 0.01) and gender (p = 0.00). Conclusion: The results showed that most of the students experienced a good level of quality of life. The findings suggest paying more attention to health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and planning for the promotion of students' HRQOL.
