 note = {Quality of life is an area of nonacademic influence to which college programs can contribute significantly. It is proposed that a satisfying quality of life can enhance college success by increasing degree of academic engagement, regardless of a student's hearing status. A study of the quality of life of 200 deaf and hard-of-hearing students on a mainstream college campus is summarized as an example of how to define and measure baseline wellness using paper surveys and interviews. Life domains were defined through statistical analysis of students' responses. The most satisfying domains were Community Well-Being and Overall Life Satisfaction. Physical Weil-Being was least satisfying. Intermediate were Social, Psychological, and Academic Well-Being. Although students acknowledged the educational benefits of their campus experience, they put more emphasis on intrapersonal and inter-personal experiences, consistent with findings on other campuses. College programming that can promote connections to the campus environment, thereby enhancing students' perceived quality of life, include pre-college orientation, a freshman seminar course, learning communities, and non-academic programs that focus on campus life outside the classroom. It remains for future research to determine the extent to which attention to quality of life can affect academic engagement and enhance academic success.},
