I made a survey between university studensts and chose Marmara University - Faculty of Communication students. In this study enclose 270 women % 64.2 and 150 % 35.7 men students. Surveys included in the study was carried out in sufficient number to achieve the data and make an overall assessment of various different multiple media students would be more appropriate due to be considered for research purposes. This study is limited by the number of measuring instruments used in the surveyed sample. Twelve questions asked to 420 students. Located on the continuous variables descriptive statistics in the study mean, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum values of categorical variables are shown with frequencies and percentages.
