Unless necessary measures are taken, it is predicted to reach dangerous dimensions for human within the next 40-50 years. Therefore, environment education and the importance of positive attitudes and behaviors against the environment are getting more and more important. In this sense, especially, it is expected that people on the higher education to be more sensitive to the environment and environmental problems and to take an active role in the solution of problems. This study aimed to search university students' perceptions about future environmental problems and current environmental problems, suggestions and behaviors for solutions. This study was conducted with 121 students who were attending the Faculty of Education, Vocational School of Health Services and Faculty of Letters. The study was carried out by using qualitative data collection techniques and the results were assessed with the qualitative data analysis methods. As a result of the survey, it was found out that there was not a clear distinction between students' perceptions about current environmental problems and about those in the future. It is understood that they didn't put special effort to protect environment. © IDOSI Publications, 2011.
