      ab: Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the quality of undergraduate educational environment at the college of medicine Jouf University. Methodology: A descriptive, cross sectional study was done. Target population included all students in basics sciences and clinical years (year 1 to year 5), both males and females, during the academic year (2018-2019). Sample size was originally estimated 118; students response rate was 66% (n = 78). The instrument used in this study was The Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM) inventory, which is a validated and reliable tool. The questionnaire encompasses five subscales: perceptions of learning, teachers, academic self-perceptions, atmosphere and social self-perceptions. Results: The total score of DREEM inventory all five years (female, male batches) was 117.74 ± 20.8 which were interpreted according to the practical guide of Sean McAleer and Sue Roff that means that learning environment were more positive than negative from students' prospective. DREEM five subscales scores indicated a more positive perception. Female students total DREEM score was 123.34 ± 20.5 compared with their counterpart 112.28 ± 19.7. There were statically significant differences between male and female students in some items (p ≤ 0.05). Conclusion: The study concluded that all male and female students perceived the learning environment positively. Nevertheless, there are problematic areas in some items which need more investigation and remedial action.
