The SPSS-18 software has been used to analyze the data and the results have been reported in the form of descriptive and inferential statistics. The results have shown that the psychological well-being and family health variables with the correlation value of 0.415 and 0.404 have a positive and significant correlation with the quality of life variable at the P<0.01 level of significance. The results of the Stepwise regression analysis to predict the variance of the students' quality of life have indicated that only in one step the psychological well-being variable with (6.245) t coefficient has a high and significant correlation with the quality of life variable.
