ENHANCING HIGHER EDUCATION WITH SMART CAMPUSES: STUDENT INSIGHTS AT ULST "KING MICHAEL I" TIMIȘOARA
Abstract
This study explores the perceptions of students regarding Smart Campus development, based on an extensive questionnaire distributed nationwide, with a particular focus on Romania’s western region and the University of Life Sciences "King Michael I" from Timișoara. Our research underscores the importance of intelligent learning environments, advanced security measures, socialization elements, and eco-friendly solutions as core components of a modern Smart Campus. A total of 245 participants, composed predominantly of high school and university-level students, completed the structured survey covering key dimensions such as digital learning, smart living, virtual and physical security, sustainable resource use, and health-related services.
