This article presents results of investigation of food consumption patterns among students of the National
University of "Kyiv-Mohyla Academy" based on a non-experimental cross-sectional survey held
among students of Bachelor and Master programmes of NaUKMA throughout year 2007. As it turned out,
students who live in the dormitories or rented apartments have less diverse and less healthy nutrition than
those students who live at home with parents; besides, they are more likely to skip breakfast. Several policy
and educational measures are proposed to be undertaken in order to improve the situation.
