Nutritional awareness is important in the diet, balance of food to eat, self-perception on food choice that can be classified accordingly to what is needed in the body and improves and explains the variance of quality of food that can affect the body and life. The study is focused on the nutrition awareness of college students as a basis in the improvement of nutrition program, deals on the profile of the respondents as to gender, age, height, weight, religion, and general average, the factors that affect nutrition practices of students in terms of personal concern, home and family, and community/environment which extended to the aforementioned factors affect nutrition practices of the respondents. Descriptive methods of research and design is utilized in the study since descriptive research is a fact finding method where it tells what exist and it tells the educational phenomena of the study under investigated. The study comprised of One Hundred Fifty (150) respondents only. Purposive sampling is employed in the study because it is judgmental and convenient to the researcher until it reaches the target number of population under study. Results show that profile of the respondents contributes to the nutritional awareness in the improvement program of the nutrition. It shows that they are aware on the proper nutrition, yet while they know these facts, they do not consider such factors in their health practices. Home, school, and community are three of the most important agencies that develop awareness on health and nutrition. From these agencies come the personal concern, home and family breeding, and community/environment influences. The support of these agencies directs the individuals on the right choices on nutrition. Different factors play a significant role on the nutrition practices of students. These include their choices, breeding, and environment status. These factors could dictate the eating/nutritional habits and practices of the individuals, and show that health of the students corresponds to their nutrition awareness and practices. Their physical and mental well-being could be attributed on the way that maintains strong and sound body condition.
