The research group consists of 108 students in the course of sports events at the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Gazi in the spring period 2018. The measurement tool is the "University Students' Attitude Measurement to Sport" developed by Koçak (2014) . The validity of the measurement has been tested and the conformity well-being indicators have been found to be acceptable. The Cronbach alpha ratio is 0.95. According to the purpose of the research and the state of the data, Shapiro Wilks test, T test, Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis H test, Benforonni and Mann Whitney U test, cross-table and aggregation analyses were also used. When the students’ attitudes towards sport were evaluated as a total, 39.6% were high, 47.2% were medium and 13.2% were low. Students’ attitudes towards sport have not shown statistically significant differences in terms of age, body mass index, where they grow up and the active participation status variables (p>0,05) However, it has been found that students’ attitudes towards sport have statistically significant differences in terms of gender (only the lower dimension of mental development), well-being level (only the lower dimension of psychosocial development), sporting status (only the lower dimension of mental development) and family sporting status (only the lower dimension of psychosocial development). In addition, 86.5% of the students who participated actively in the sports event course said that the sports event course was a positive contribution to them.
