The aim of this study was to screen the first year students of Çukurova University for psychiatric symptoms using Symptom Check List-90-R questionnaire.

Results: The response rate was 86% (n=403); 40.6% of the students were female and 59.4% were male. The first three symptoms were obsessive-compulsive symptoms (%61.2), paranoid ideas (%55.1), and sensitivity in interpersonal relations (%50.6). There was statistically significant relationship between Global Severity Index and student's residence area, mother's occupation, alcohol consumption, and smoking behavior of the student. Gender, place of living, occupation of mother, educational status of father, smoking behavior, and alcohol consumption of the student were found to be significantly related to most of the subindexes. Conclusion: University students show many psychiatric symptoms, especially, for obsessive-compulsive symptoms, sensitivity in interpersonal relationships, and paranoid ideas.
