As a social institution where the need for belonging is first met, the family has an important place in the psychological, emotional, social and economic life of the individual. Despite being in different shapes and degrees throughout the developmental process, the sense of belonging to the family continues to maintain its importance in the life of the individual. Family relations are among the determining factors of family belonging. Due to this central position in the life of the individual, it is necessary to examine the family belonging in terms of family-related variables, in order to understand the family belonging. The aim of this study is to examine the family belonging of university students in terms of family structure, family violence history and family relationships. The sample of the study designed in the general screening model was 2755 university students. The data were collected using the personal information form developed by the researchers and the Family Belonging Scale and analyzed with the SPSS Program. In the study, it was observed that the family belonging of the students with nuclear family structure was higher than those with extended family structure and the parents whose parents lived together were higher than divorced. The family belonging of students who have experienced or witnessed domestic violence is lower than others. Family belonging of students whose family has a democratic family structure is higher than other family attitudes; It was found that students who spend quality time with their family, who can express their feelings in communication with their family, and who are understood by their family, have higher family belonging than others. It was concluded that the variables of family structure, family violence history and family relationships examined in the study constitute a significant difference according to the family belonging of university students.
