Undergraduates experience stress due to academic and employment problems. Campus life stress may have an effect on the quality of life, where household income can be coping resources or a stressor. It is, therefore, necessary to provide substantial and specific support by analyzing effects of campus life stress and household income on undergraduates' quality of life. Hence, this study examined what effects campus life stress, household income, sex and the Korea Student Aid Foundation's support have on undergraduates' quality of life and discusses the foundation's support as coping resources. For this study, the 1st, the 2nd and the 3rd data presented by the Korea Student Aid Panel were used. The findings can be summarized: First, household income has a moderating effect on the relationship between campus life stress and undergraduates' quality of life, according to the 1st and the 2nd data. Second, undergraduates' quality of life tends to be gradually decreased. Third, the Korea Student Aid Foundation's support prevents the reduction of growth in undergraduates' quality of life. Finally, this study discussed coping resources which can reduce the effect of low household income on their quality of life and enhance it, and described some limits of this study.
