The study employs a literature review approach, collecting data from reputable scientific databases, selecting, and analyzing studies related to the effects of greenery on mental health, particularly inhigher educationsettings. The findings indicate that greenery positively contributes to reducing stress and anxiety while enhancing concentration and academic performance. Both international and domestic studies affirm that greenery improves learning environments, reduces stress levels, and enhances students’ academic quality.
