The main objectives of this study were to investigate the level of emotional maturity and life satisfaction, the relationship between emotional maturity and life satisfaction of students studying in Dilla College of Teachers’ Education. In addition, it investigated whether the level of emotional maturity and life satisfaction of students differ by gender, year levels (batches), streams (departments) and students’ interest of joining stream. For this purpose data were gathered from 172 students using self-report measures of background information, emotional maturity and life satisfaction. Then stratified sampling was applied to determine the number of samples for genders, year levels (batches) and streams. The collected data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The result indicated that majority of the students showed low level of emotional maturity and life satisfaction. It was also revealed that there was very weak positive relationship between emotional maturity and life satisfaction of students and the correlation is statistically not significant. Regarding gender difference, the result of independent sample t-test revealed that there was no significant difference between male and female students in their emotional maturity and life satisfaction. Besides, the result of one-way ANOVA showed that there was statistically no significant difference between the three year levels (batches) in their emotional maturity and life satisfaction. However, the result of one-way ANOVA also showed that there was statistically significant difference between streams of students in their emotional maturity; even though there was statistically no significant difference between streams of students in their life satisfaction. Finally, the finding showed that there is statistically no significant difference between emotional maturity and students’ interest of joining stream whereas there is statistically significant difference between life satisfaction and students’ interest of joining stream.
