The daily management of college students continues to enter the life world of college students. Dormitories, student communities, campus public spaces, and daily interactions are not only management fields, but also affect students' feelings and judgments about the environment and lifestyle. Life aesthetics extends aesthetic attention to ordinary life, providing a theoretical perspective for evaluating the aesthetic value of students' daily management. This article is based on literature analysis, conceptual analysis, and logical deduction. It argues that the core of integrating aesthetic education into students' daily management lies in promoting the generation of aesthetic experience through real and continuous campus life. The life context provides the foundation for aesthetic perception, and the subject participates in promoting sensory experience to form aesthetic judgments. Continuous practice gradually brings aesthetic judgments into life choices. Its implementation requires addressing the structural tension between public management norms and students' aesthetic autonomy, as well as the efficiency of affairs management and the authenticity of aesthetic experience. Colleges and universities should improve the quality of experience in daily life scenarios, expand genuine participation and professional support, and evaluate practical effectiveness based on experience generation and student development.
