Student housing satisfaction through research studies has been found to be influenced by many indicators. As more provisions are being put in place to increase the availability of student housing within the urban context, it is also important to understand the dynamics behind this phenomenon. In this way, significant contributions are made in both the practical and academic domains. The study therefore investigated the main predictors influencing housing satisfaction among international students in Leibniz University of Hannover, living in state managed accommodation. With a growing international student population in the city, understanding these factors is crucial for urban development planning and enhancing the quality of student life. The research study employed a combination of descriptive analysis, correlation and regression analyses to identify the housing attributes significantly impacting students' overall satisfaction. The findings from the correlation analysis revealed that 12 indicators (safety, infrastructure quality, environmentally friendly, staff performance, housing sustainability, recreational quality, amenities, management response, privacy level, air quality, recommendation and continue stay) were the most significant predictors of student housing satisfaction. The research contributes to existing literature by providing empirical evidence on the specific factors/variables that affect international students' housing satisfaction in Hannover. The results highlight the importance of safety, quality infrastructure, neighbourhood quality and recreational facilities in student housing policies. The study also highlights the need for environmentally sustainable practices in housing development. This thesis offers valuable insights for university authorities, urban planners, and housing providers, emphasizing the need to focus on key areas to improve international students' housing experiences. It also calls for the need to strategically investigate the housing experiences of students and to involve them in decision making processes. The findings inform targeted strategies and policy recommendations to enhance student housing satisfaction. This ultimately contributes to the well-being of students, as well as improves urban living among residents in the city of Hannover.
