Social isolation, compliance with hygiene rules, adequate and balanced nutrition are of great importance in this period. Our study aimed to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on the stress experienced by Haliç University students and their eating habits and lifestyle changes. Data collection was carried out through a structured questionnaire created in Google Forms (online). In addition, the stress level was determined using the "Perceived Stress Scale". Change in physical activity level, change in dietary habits, and change in desire to eat out were significantly correlated with perceived stress level (p=0.007; p=0.02; p=0.003, respectively). But it was not found to be associated with BMI (p=0.02). During quarantine, we must encourage healthy eating and physical activity at home. The number of studies examining the adaptation of university students, who have an important role in the development of society both in the world and in our country, to epidemic conditions is limited. Therefore, this study will contribute to the literature.}, number={25}, publisher={Osman SAĞDIÇ}
