Basma Kashmoola

This paper adopted a convenience sampling by approaching five different universities/higher education institutes in Dubai International Academic City (DIAC) to explore and examine the level of stress among students studying in those institutes. Three main factors of stress i.e., academic, financial and social support have been identified through the literature and a valid questionnaire was developed to capture their responses in all three factors of stress. By using descriptive statistics, an average (mean) values are computed. Recommendations and limitations of the study have also been discussed.
