Abstract: Background: Interest in the complex relationship between diet and health is growing again, which is indicative of the growing cost of lifestyle disorders to the healthcare system. Given their critical position as future health promotion advocates, it is vital that students model a healthy lifestyle. Aims & Objectives: This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitude, and Practices regarding dietary habits and physical activity among students of College of Community science, CCSHAU. Material and Method: A Online survey was carried out using Google Forms and 31students were recruited using the purposive sampling method. All the 2nd ,3rd,4th year students who had volunteer participate were included in the study. Results: Approximately half of the participants were able to identify healthy foods, Results indicated that while a significant portion of students possessed adequate knowledge about healthy dietary practices, this knowledge did not consistently translate into healthy eating behaviour’s. Factors such as convenience, taste preferences, and time constraints were major barriers to adopting healthier diets. Additionally, attitudes towards physical activity were generally positive, with most students recognizing its importance for overall health. However, a notable percentage reported insufficient physical activity, citing academic workload and lack of motivation as primary reasons. The majority Exhibited positive attitudes, such as the importance of daily water consumption (85.7%), awareness that tea or coffee could be detrimental to health, and the acknowledgment that fast foods have adverse effects on health. Conclusion: The findings suggest a disconnect between knowledge and practice, highlighting the need for targeted interventions that address the specific barriers faced by college students. Recommendations include integrating nutritional education into the curriculum, providing more accessible healthy food options on campus, and creating programs to promote regular physical activity.
