This article is the initial part of a more extensive study that will be conducted regarding the quality of life in the identify the appropriate variables which can influence an index that can be used to evaluate the quality of life within this campus. An assessment of the relevant literature in this area showed that the main domains that should be included in the index are: services offered in the campus, material welfare, safety and human dignity, leisure, health and active involvement in the university life.
