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. The data collection instrument was the 26-item World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF). Stratified sampling was used to select samples. 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.
