Özet

This study investigates the financial attitudes and behaviors of 400 undergraduate students by applying a surveyduring the 2017-2018 academic year. Findings indicate that there is statistical difference between the financial behavior andage variables. However, no meaningful relationship was found between gender, department, education level of parents, andthe family monthly income. There is statistically meaningful relationship between financial attitude and financial behavior. Itis seen that students' financial behavior and financial attitude levels are close to high values. Students are conscious aboutthe nature of money and financial awareness; however, a high percentage of students do not make savings due to theirlimited budgets.
