STRESZCZENIE
W pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań ankietowych przeprowadzonych w roku akademickim 2001/2002 wśród 230 studentów Akademii Rolniczej w Szczecinie. Studenci otrzymali kwestionariusz ankiety z pytaniami zamkniętymi. Każda z osób została scharakteryzowana za pomocą kilkunastu cech określających jej status społeczno-ekonomiczny. Część drugą stanowiły szczegółowe pytania dotyczące zwyczajów żywieniowych studentów. Wstępną charakterystykę osób oceniono na podstawie utworzonych dla badanych zmiennych tabel liczebności. Do oceny statystycznej niezależności cech przeprowadzono test Chi2. Po przeanalizowaniu otrzymanych danych stwierdzono istotny wpływ wybranych czynników na niektóre elementy życia studenckiego oraz upodobania żywieniowe ankietowanych m.in. miejsca zamieszkania podczas nauki, otrzymywania stypendiów, podejmowania pracy dorywczej, a także np. częstotliwości spożywania posiłków.
