Healthy lifestyle behaviors involve a set of students' choices in the status of life that influences the health of the student.

II: Healthy life style scale for university students to assess student's healthy life style and III: Observational checklist questionnaire to assess Benha University town environment which included 3 items as (buildings, rooms, kitchen). Results: There was significant improvement of studied student's total knowledge post implementation of healthy lifestyle model to reach 77% compared by 68% pre the implementation. Also, there was significant improvement of studied student's total lifestyle post implementation of healthy lifestyle model to reach 81% compared by 74% pre the implementation. Conclusion: Healthy lifestyle plays a key role in improving life and health of university town students. The most common factors predisposing to unhealthy lifestyle among university town students not being able to manage their time and routine, problem of individualism and self-centered attitudes and absence of a door to knock upon whenever they wish to resolve their problems of health, social life, and academics. Recommendation: The health education agenda should focus on themes such as hygiene, physical activity, nutrition and relationships. ‘‘Stress management'' and ‘‘time management'' taught along with curricula may assist students in dealing with stress caused by heavy loads of study. Further studies are needed to ensure the importance of healthy lifestyle model among university town students.
