Popis: Aim: to understand the perceptions of nursing students related to Quality of Life (QL) during the academic trajectory at a Federal Public University. Method: an exploratory, qualitative study carried out with 14 students from a Federal Public University between August and October 2012. The instruments of data collection were the semistructured interview and the field diary, with subsequent content analysis. Results: Two categories emerged: "The university ... either promoter and non-promoter of quality of life" and "Supervised Internship and Course Conclusion Paper as the cause of health problems". The promoting dimensions of QL are: group activities, interaction between communityscientific community, and the knowledge transformed in the university. Regarding the nonpromoters of QL, we can see: inadequate feeding; Teachers' requirements; Extensive workload and high time demand; and, practical activities of the subjects. Conclusion: There is a need for adaptation in the academic journey to obtain an improvement in the QL
