Students participating in the study were identified by a single, unclustered random probability sampling method based on population ratios. The data obtained through the questionnaire are given in tables. It was determined that 67% of the students in the survey liked milk, consumed about 1.3 liters of milk per week, which is not enough compared to developed countries. It has been seen that students prefer to supermarkets instead of groceries and shops when buying milk and pay attention to brand, price, production and expiry date. It has been determined that other students, except for the students of the Faculty of Health Sciences, generally do not have enough knowledge about milk-borne diseases. We determined that the first reason of milk consumption is the students were aware of milk having nutritional function and did not encounter any problems in milk consumption in general
