Abstract :Abstract: The results of this study is based on the responses acquired from the undergraduate students (Architecture and Economics and Administrative Faculties) in European University of Lefke. This paper investigated stressors which are psychology, health and academic and related them to the undergraduate students in the university. In total, 210 students participated in this study. Data was collected through self-administered questionnaire that were randomly distributed and statistically tested by One-Way ANOVA and t-Test. Firstly, it was discovered that the stressors level of the Architecture students is higher than that of the Economics and Administrative Sciences Faculty students. Secondly, there is no significant result about the difference between female and male students in terms of stressors levels in university students. Thirdly, it is found that there is an important difference between stressors and nationalities of students. Lastly, we found that there is a negative relationship between stressors and academic performance. It is hoped that, these findings will help the university to provide quality services such as time management improvement sessions or might be counselling services to reduce the stress levels of the students. Also the limitation of this study was the sample size and location since our study only focused on one university. So it means that, future studies, can expand the number of universities to compare the universities and to reach general results.
