Nowadays active commuting represents a frequent subject in the scientific journals. Active commuting to school, as is emphasized in several studies, influences the level of physical activity and the health of young people. Obesity and some hearts issues could be prevented, as studies said, by walking and cycling to school. The aim of this study was to find how students, from Babeș-Bolyai University, commute to their faculties during a week. In the study were involved people aged 18-20 years old, n=186. The overcomes show that the main way of commuting is using a bus. Around 30% of them commute by walking, meanwhile only 3-4 students use cycling to attend their classes.

Keywords: Commuting, bus, walking, cycling, distance, body mass index.
