Abstract: Student wellness is crucial for academic success, personal growth, and overall quality of life. This study assesses the wellness lifestyle of students at the University of Eastern Philippines (UEP) main campus, with the objective of designing a comprehensive wellness program tailored to the specific needs of the student body. Using a quantitative descriptive-correlational approach, the study evaluates wellness domains, including fitness, nutrition, emotional well-being, and environmental health, and investigates relationships with socio-demographic factors. Findings indicate specific wellness gaps that suggest the need for targeted initiatives, including stress management resources and nutrition support. The implications extend to policy recommendations for student health services and wellness programming at UEP, with potential applications for universities nationwide.
