Data collected by standard Neuman`s quality of learning experience questionnaire, Hong and O’Neil self-regulation questionnaire, and Snyder `s Hope Components questionnaire. Then, the data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient, independent t-test, and stepwise multiple regression. Comsequently, findings showed that the total score of quality of learning experience had a significant positive relationship with total score of Hope Components. Also, the total score of self-regulation and its subscales had a significant positive relationship with total score of Hope Components and its subscales. Furthermore, the results of multiple regression analysis revealed that self- regulation would positively and significantly predict Hope Components. Hence, the results suggest that universities should focus on improving the quality of student learning experiences.
