This survey was carried out to investigate the effects of dietary attitude on the nutrition knowledge, food habits and the intake of instant food, convenience food and fast food between two groups of college women, a nutrition major group and nutrition non-major one. Questionnaires were completed by 214 nutrition majors and also by 145 non-majors. Nutrition majors showed better average in meal time regularities per week than nutrition non-majors. And nutrition non-majors had a higher frequency rate in taking of instant food and fast food than nutrition majors. In the case of both college women, those who take a meal regularly at each meal times have a higher score in food habits. The women who ate instant foods more frequently got a lower score in food habits, bot the frequency of the intake of instant foods did not affect the score of nutrition knowledge On the other hand, the women who had fast foods more frequently got a higher score in food habits and lower score in nutrition knowledge. When college women have a little of nutrition knowledge, they have a tendency to keep their meal time regularity and right dietary attitude pattern. In the dining-out pattern, the college women liked to eat flour foods and they preferred western foods than Korean foods. The motivation of food selection was for convenience and for time saving which were the reason for satisfaction to the products of food service industry. The products of food service industry were found to be unsatisfactory in nutrition and sanitation. Therefore, we must be mute aware of preventing the disappearance of Korean traditional foods and for developing dietary culture successively, the products of food service industry which are more suitable for Korean should be developed.

Nutrition information routes for majors were 'college class' (62.5%) and 'TV radio' (17.5%). However, the routes for non-majors to obtain nutrition information were 'internet smart phones' (41.1%) and 'TV radio' (28.3%).

The main reason for meal alone was schedule unsuitable for eating with family or friends. The most critical factors for majors and non-majors when they chose menu to have meal alone were personal taste and money, respectively. The primary consideration for choosing processed food was price and the main purchase route was convenience store. The main reason for consuming processed food was easy-to-cook. Of processed foods, the most favored ones were noodles and fish products. Meal alone frequency was positively correlated with age (p<0.05), grade (p<0.05) and monthly allowance (p<0.05). Preference and consumption frequency of processed food were negatively correlated with concern about nutrition (p<0.05) and meal frequency (p<0.05), respectively. Based on these results, greater efforts should be made to provide meaningful information regarding programs for nutrition education to improve their dietary habits. Research and development of processed food specifically for college students eating alone should be increased.
