Abstract

The purpose of this research was to explore the nutritional health and eating habits of Rowan University Students.  As a group we conducted surveys of Rowan University students, both commuter students and students who lived on campus.  We also conducted a few interviews which we taped.  The interviews more fully explored the views that students have on their nutritional health, the nutritional health of their fellow students, and how Rowan views the nutritional health of their students.  We also somewhat explore how Rowan University seeks to help, or hinder, the nutritional health of their students.  Once all of this data had been compiled we looked to see how other colleges view the nutritional health of their students and what eating options they offer.  We also seek to offer proposals concerning how Rowan University could help improve the nutritional health of its students; as well as how the university could better educate the students on nutrition.
