The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the relationships among leisure motivation, leisure constraints, leisure satisfaction and university life satisfaction depending on the nationality of university students in Korea and China. The results of study were as follows: First, four dimensions, namely, 「physical」, 「psychological」, 「social」, and 「educational」 were extracted as leisure motivation. The leisure constraints are classified using three factors(internal, structural, interpersonal), and 4 factors(environmental, physical, psychological, educational) of leisure satisfaction were extracted. Second, depending on the nationality of students there were significant differences in leisure motivation. Third, depending on the nationality of students there were significant differences in leisure constraints. In particular, the two constraints factors (internal, and interpersonal) were stronger for the Chinese students. Fourth, there were no significant differences with regard to the nationality of students for all sub-factors of leisure satisfaction-physical, psychological, social, and educational. Finally, for all university students, leisure satisfaction had a positive effect on university life satisfaction.
