Abstract

The group of international students coming to China is getting bigger and bigger, and the housing problem has gradually become an important factor for them to adapt to the study and life in China. The traditional accommodation mode has been difficult to meet the diversified needs, and the new housing mode shows potential value in improving their quality of life and optimizing the structure of the student population, so it is necessary to conduct a systematic study on it. In this study, 118 international students from Hebei University in the academic year 2023-2024 were taken as a sample, and the questionnaire method was used to construct a measurement tool containing three dimensions, namely, housing mode, quality of life and quality of student population, and data were collected through a five-point Likert scale. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were used to process the data. The results showed that the new housing style was significantly and positively correlated with the quality of student population (r=0.556, p<0.01), and also positively correlated with the quality of life (r=0.525, p<0.01); in terms of gender differences, female students scored higher than male students on housing satisfaction and quality of life (p<0.001); and the analysis of the difference in grade level showed that freshmen students were more satisfied with the new housing style (p<0.01). 0.01). Regression analysis showed that amenities and services (β=0.358) and cost and sustainability (β=0.361) significantly and positively predicted student quality. It is concluded that the new type of housing has a positive role in improving the living experience of international students and optimizing the quality of student population, and should be given due attention in future campus management policies.
