Summary/Abstract: The article by Istvan Muranyi is based on an online survey carried out in 2009 with N=1571 students from Debrecen University. The primary aim of the research was to characterise the lifestyles and leisure time activities of students, though the questionnaire additionally contained questions concerning one’s mental condition. The results show that individual and passive activities (Internet using, TV and video watching) dominates the lifestyle of students; cultural activity is characteristic of only a few. The mental status of students is a major factor in widespread depression and personal network and partnership-related troubles.
