This research aims to examine how the landscape affects university students' psychological health, focusing on the University of Technology (UoT) and the University of Baghdad (UoB). A field survey of the green cover area of both sites, along with statistical analyses of the questionnaire administered to 400 students at each university in the fall semester for the academic year 2024-2025 to study the impact of green cover on psychological and mental health. The study found significant differences in campus time use and landscape engagement between UoB and UoT students. UoB shows that most students (82.75%) spend 4-6 hours daily, and 17.25% spend 6-10 hours on campus, whereas UoT shows a lower percentage of students (59.75%) who spend 4-6 hours daily and a higher percentage (32.75%) who spend 6-10 hours. UoB recorded 64.25% of students visiting the landscape 2-4 times weekly, whereas UoT recorded 81.5% of students visiting 2-4 times weekly. The results showed that exposure to green spaces improved mood in 93.3% of UoB students and 100% of UoT students. The average landscape evaluation scores at UoB and UoT were 4.42±0.78 and 4.70±0.61, respectively. Additionally, in UoT's landscape evaluation, 89.9% of students thought that green cover sustainability needed improvement. The results showed that UoB (87.3%) and UoT (98.5%) had a much better rate of reduction of stress, and the average psychological health scores at UoB and UoT were 4.55 ± 0.65 and 4.75 ± 0.49, respectively, indicating a stronger favorable influence at UoT. The study emphasizes how important it is to improve campus green spaces through more student involvement, sustainable maintenance, and thoughtful architectural changes by highlighting the need for campus-specific adjustments and maximizing green cover. The study suggests increasing accessible spaces, adding more shady areas, and incorporating student-led sustainability initiatives to improve mental health and enhance students' academic experience.
