Abstract
The main aim of this study is to describe the way of life of students attending the first year of a University Nursing Degree Course on their first day. Other more specific goals of this study are to describe the habit of alcohol and tobacco consumption of the students, their eating habits and the factors that determine those habits. The results show an unhealthy way of life, which can become worse during the university years. In conclusion, it is clear that the teaching staff have a golden opportunity in their hands to try and promote good health habits during the years the students attend university. It is thus recommended to put into place action plans aimed precisely at the problematic areas mentioned above.
