  ABSTRACT: This dissertation explores the impact of housing accessibility on the overall well-being of international students at UWS-Paisley, utilizing quantitative research methods to analyse the diverse benefits of housing accessibility for a range of international students. The study sheds light on how basic human needs like shelter are adapted to meet the evolving educational and health requirements in the UK (Scotland), where rapid economic changes intersect with deep-rooted educational cultural traditions. Through online surveys distributed to 291 international students from various backgrounds, the study focuses on factors such as psychological well-being, academic performance, cultural adaptation, and social support. The results reveal significant effects on both physical and mental health, including stress, lack of concentration, and emotional instability, on international students due to lack of access to housing. The study underscores the positive impact of housing accessibility on student life balance and academic performance, advocating for its integration into university admission processes and programs to enhance the overall educational health strategy.
