The used tool for data collection was a questionnaire rating scale of 5 levels. The statistics used for data analysis were percentage, means and standard deviation.

The research shows that most engineering students have opinions about on the quality of life of Mahasarakham University students overall is at a medium level (x̄ = 3.20) and when considering each aspect found that the most influential factor is the teaching aspect.
