In this study, researchers designed to evaluate the leisure activities of university students outside the school developed the "Billary Comparison Scale for the Evaluation of Free Time" by researchers. The aim is to analyze the results obtained from the measurement tool according to the Thurstone's Law of Comparative Judgments with the R program and to compare the relevant findings with the results of the analysis of the method manually performed in the Excel environment by the frequency method. In this context, the measurement tool was first developed in order to the method of bilateral comparisons. The vehicle was created in the 8x8 square matrix format and the measurement tool was finished as a result of the conversions taken from students with the expert opinions. The data was obtained from 306 students who studied at a faculty in the 2015 - 2016 academic year. The results show that both the calculations performed with the R program and the calculations performed with Excel are very similar to each other. As a result of the measurement process performed with both the R program and Excel, students have been determined to spend a lot of time with their friends and prefer social activities, to read books and to spend time on the computer.
