This study was conducted with the purpose of determining the attitudes of university students towards ageism and affected factors. The study was carried out with 380 students. The Questionnaire Form and the “Ageism Attitude Scale” information form were used as data collection instruments. Descriptive statistics, linear regression, independent sample t test, and the one-way Anova were used to evaluate the data. The total scores on the Ageism Attitude Scale were a minimum of 48 and maximum of 107. The present study has been determined that the university students had a positive attitude towards ageism. Furthermore, it was found that the AAS total point average influenced the situation of choosing to live with a mother / father or together with both in the future from the older individual and life characteristics. In accordance with these results, it could be proposed to determine the views of the students and the society towards ageism, to plan studies at the universities in different regions for eliminating the regional differences, to make studies that would set forth the reasons for the negative factors, which influence ageism
