It is expected that the life satisfaction levels of individuals who have a course-leisure conflict will be low. This is a factor that may negatively affect the working efficiency of the students. At this point, the present study is important in terms of both the due diligence and the various suggestions to eliminate the deficiency at this stage. The universe of the study consists of the undergraduate students of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University. The sample of the study consists of a total of 340 students (194 women and 146 men) who have undergraduate education in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and School of Physical Education and Sports.
