Abstract: The aim of this study was to assess environmental attitudes and behaviour of students at Faculty of Agriculture in Cukurova University, Turkey. 240 undergraduate university students were surveyed. It was found out that majority of students (80.0%) used public media as a main source of information about environmental issues. Rural students were more concerned about environmental issues than urban ones while male students were more reluctant to environmental issues than female students. It was also determined that younger students were more concerned about the environment and had positive behaviour toward environmental issues. Unfortunately only 12.9% of students were a member of environmental organizations and had positive behaviour and attitudes regarding environment.
