Components and predictors of college student life satisfaction were attempted to identify. A questionnaire consists of 63 items with 5 point rating scale was administered to each of 830 female students and then 14 satisfaction factors were proved by factor analysis. Mean of 14 factor satisfaction scores significantly correlated with overall satisfaction score and these two criteria correlated with such factors as strife against college, confidence to college, happiness, and mental health. To find out predictors of student life satisfaction, a multiple regression analysis was performed and resulted that 7 factors of the 22 factors(14 satisfaction factors and 8 personal factors) significantly influenced on overall satisfaction. In addition, factors relating identification with college were investigated. Of the 21 satisfaction and personal factors, each of 19 factors correlated with identification with college and 10 factors significantly contributed to prediction of identification.
