TERRAZAS ARGOTE, Brenda J.  and  ALMEIDA CARDONA, Rodrigo. Analysis of the main indicators of student satisfaction in the quality of university life in private universities. Perspectivas [online]. 2020, n.45, pp.7-32. ISSN 1994-3733.

In Cochabamba there is currently a significant number of private universities, where all of them seek to influence the quality of student life. For this reason, this research has as main objective to analyze the degree of influence ofthe main indicators of student satisfaction on the quality of university life of private universities in Cochabamba, taking into account the Catholic University Boliviana San Pablo, the Private University Boliviana and the Universidad Privada del Valle. To achieve this, structural equation modeling is used using the Minimal Partial Squares technique with the application of 320 surveys. The empirical evidence shows significant results, showing that the teaching and academic reputation variables are the most influential academic variables, and on the other hand, sports activities and international programs are the most relevant social variables. In addition, the tested model demonstrates reliability and validity, explaining the quality of university life in 49,9%.
