“…These advisors facilitate the students in decision-making regarding their academic and career-related choices, solve problems and issues faced on campus, and identify and set goals in their academic and professional lives (Hatch & Garcia, 2017;Johnson et al, 2019;Swecker et al, 2013). Studies report that such advising services are essential for increasing the satisfaction levels in higher education institutes (Miller, 2018;Zhang et al, 2019) and improving the university's overall image.…”

Worldwide there is an increase in competition between higher education institutions seeking to ascertain their position in the world ranking, resulting in universities introspectively reflecting on their image and student satisfaction. This is especially the case in the Gulf Cooperation Countries, where there has been significant growth in higher education institutions. This study examines the factors that influence Qatar University's image among undergraduate students and predicts factors impacting students' satisfaction, influencing the university's image. Results from 2,618 students' responses to a 57-item student satisfaction questionnaire indicate that the university's services are factors that influence students' view of QU, and the students' satisfaction directly contributes to a positive perception of Qatar University. The impact of university services on students' perception of QU is further discussed based on gender, nationality, student classification, and major.

The purpose of the study is to investigate students' psychological distress complaints through an online webbased academic advisor support. This study employed a qualitative method. Data were gathered through indepth anonymous consultation and interview which were conducted through online facilities, such as email, WhatsApp, and telephone, to understand the students' psychological distress complaints. The data, then, were analyzed using the grounded theory approach through open, axial, and theoretical coding. The results of this study showed that five main issues that caused psychological distress have been complained by students through the online advising service centre. Those issues included feeling distress towards campus unfair treatment, bureaucracy complexities, lack channel to express complaints, unfriendly academic advisors, and opposite-sex advisors issue. This study concludes that the online advising support center can be used to support students' psychological relief because the system increases anonymity, reduce physical contact, and avoid opposite sex barriers during psychological consultation. This study promotes the use of online academic advising support to increase students' intention to use an academic advising support in order to reduce stress and promote students' mental health.

“…Institutions seek to provide guidance for these students as they make course choices, as evidenced by the considerable advising resources provided for students by institutions (Zhang et al, 2019). However, our limited understanding of the student decision-making process makes providing that guidance less effective.…”

Instruction based on active learning is being promoted in higher education by the creation of new collaborative teaching and learning spaces, but capacity does not yet exist for all courses to be held in these new spaces. In this study, we examined how students choose between sections of the same course, with the same materials and techniques used by the same instructor, delivered in a collaborative teaching and learning space compared with a lecture-theater space. We also measured how the factors used in enrollment decisionmaking, and the subsequent learning experiences in the chosen environment, are associated with student attitudes related to learning chemistry. We collected student survey data from undergraduate students enrolled in Organic Chemistry II using items from the Colorado Learning Attitudes toward Science Survey for Chemistry and questions about the enrollment process. Students also responded to in-class prompts at the end of the semester about several different factors that could have influenced their decision to enroll in their section of the course. We combined these student responses with other data to create structural equation models for how the design of the teaching and learning space is associated with decision-making factors or attitudes about learning chemistry. Our models showed correlations among space enrollment, aspects of student identity, decision-making factors, and attitudes toward learning chemistry. These results suggest that students are self-sorting between the various learning spaces, which demonstrates a need for further research into the drivers of these sorting patterns over time.
