Mr. Umar Ibrahim, Dr. Nishi Fatma

Abstract :

This research work deals with a comparative analysis between on – campus and off – campus students on healthy lifestyle and level of mental health. The study was carried out on 100 students with equal number of males and females. Similarly out of total, 50 were on – campus and 50 off– campus students. The tools used for study were students’ health and lifestyle questionnaire and ‘the mental health inventory. For better understanding, simple statistical techniques were used i.e. mean, standard deviation, t – ratio and correlation to compare the two groups. Findings suggest that there is a significant difference between the two groups in terms of the levels of healthy lifestyle and it is found that the off – campus students have better lifestyle. In contrast, there is no such significant difference among the two groups with regard to mental health. Further, implications and limitation of the study are presented.
