11. Purpose: 11 In essence, the purpose of unit affairs and programs is to ensure that students receive the necessary administrative and organizational support to thrive academically and personally. They enhance the overall student experience by providing students with opportunities for engagement, personal growth, and the development of vital life skills. This, in turn, creates a vibrant and supportive campus environment that enriches students' educational journeys and helps prepare them for successful futures.

12. Student Welfare Student welfare is a fundamental component of the overall program and holds immense significance. It encompasses the physical and mental well-being of students. These needs are addressed through a combination of provisions within the hostel facilities, as well as through a robust and comprehensive system that includes student health services, guidance and counseling, and opportunities for recreational, cultural, and religious engagement. 12

16. Impact of Student Services The quality of a student's educational experience and their academic success is heavily reliant on the availability of support and services. Research conducted by Hill et al. in 2003 as referenced in Ciobanu's 2013 study, highlights that the quality of education is closely tied to factors like effective teaching and learning practices, robust service systems, and comprehensive student support. Furthermore, these services are instrumental in promoting greater student diversity and reducing university dropout rates. Tinto's 1993 research and Ciobanu's 2013 study indicate that students who lack strong academic, emotional, and social connections to their educational institutions are more likely to discontinue their studies. Effective student services play a crucial role in bridging these gaps, ultimately fostering student retention and success.

17. Conclusion student services are a fundamental component of higher education institutions, enriching the educational experience and nurturing students' personal and academic growth. They play a crucial role in shaping successful, well-rounded individuals who are prepared to contribute to society and achieve their goals. Therefore, investing in and prioritizing student services is not just a matter of institutional responsibility but a commitment to the success and well-being of the students who are the heart of every educational institution.
