Objective: This study was carried out as a descriptive study, aiming to reveal the environmental awareness and knowledge levels of the students studying at Karadeniz Technical University Health Services Vocational School. Method: The study was conducted with KTU HSVS students (n=184) in the 2016-2017 academic year. The data of the study were collected with "environmental awareness" and "environmental behavior" scales. Each of the scales was prepared with 13 items and 5 likert types. The significance level [alpha] = 0.05 was taken as the basis for the intergroup significance tests. SPSS-17 program was used for the analysis of the data. Data, descriptive statistics and unrelated samples were analyzed by t-test technique. Findings: According to the results of the research, it was found that the students opinions were "totally agree" on the environmental awareness scale and "mostly" on the environmental behavior scale. In comparison by genders, the mean score of the environmental awareness scale was found to be significantly different in favor of female students. There was no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the two scales by classification of class. When the results of all variables were examined in the study, it was found that the students had higher arithmetic average scores of environmental consciousness scale. Results: It has been determined from the data that students have difficulties in turning their thoughts into behavior. In this context, a sense of education should be developed that relies on educating students, saving them from memorization and developing brainpower, self-evaluating, balanced and productive people.
