The aim of this research was to determine the influence of study on changes in dietary habits, intake of food and physical activity among students at the Biotechnical faculty of University of Ljubljana. We compiled a two-part questionnaire. In first part we asked the students about their dietary habits, the frequency of consuming the 24 "marker" foods before and after the start of the study, the frequency of meals and the method of preparing food. In the second part of the questionnaire we asked the students about their physical activity before and after the start of the study. The questionnaire was completed by 230 students of 1st and 2nd degree of Bologna system from 14 fields of study at the Biotechnical Faculty. The results showed, that dietary habits changed in most of the respondents (73.9 %), regardless of whether they changed the permanent residence at the beginning of the study. The results showed, that after the start of the study, students consume less fruits and vegetables. 28.3 % of students consume fresh fruits and only 15.7 % of students consume fresh vegetables several times per day. 37 % of students never eat in student cafeteria and 30.9 % of students prepare home cooked meals 5 times a week. 28.7 % of students were sufficiently physicaly active (140-310 min/week) when they started university, which is less than before the beginning of the study (31.7 %).
