In this research, the determination of affecting factors of fermented milk products consumption habits of university students were aimed. The obtained data from 259 students in Gümüşhane University via questionnaire (online) were used. According to the results of the study, it was determined that the most preferred fermented milk product was yoghurt (87%) and the least was probiotic yoghurt (0.6%). It has been found that the plain kefir consumption ratio (1.2%) was lower than fruit kefir (35%). It has been found that consumption habits of fermented dairy products of 48.3% of the participants did not change by university training and 37.8% of the participants reported that their consumption decreased with university training. As a result, it was determined that the university education did not have a positive effect on consumption habits of fermented dairy products. Kefir that has many beneficial effects on human health had a low consumption rate. The conscious of fermented dairy products consumption should be gained before university training.
