Methods: This study was descriptive survey research. The sampls were 796 and variables were measured by structured questionaire. Rome-III criteria was used for diagnosis of IBS. The gathered data were analyzed with %, $x^2$-test, t-test, logistic regression by SPSS win 17.0. Results: The students with IBS were 61 (7.7%) and the most of the subtype was IBS-M (42.6%). Meal (times/day), breakfast, stress, quality of sleep, neuroticism, bodily pain, general health, social function, role emotional restriction, mental health, somatization, obcessive-compulsive state, depression, anxiety, hostility, global severity index, positive symptom distress index, positive symptom were significantly different between IBS group and non-IBS group.
