A total of 400BEd students in Sagaing University of Education participated in this study. Descriptive research design and survey method were used.

Findings from questionnaire surveys revealed that students commonly used their leisure time for relaxation and entertainment (67.25%). It was also found that there was a significant difference in students' leisure time habits by gender at =0.01 level. Moreover, by four habits, male students used more leisure times for physical, emotional, and social activities because their mean values are significantly different at =0.01 level. In the total mean scores, since second-year students' mean scores are highest, they used mostly their leisure times among students (Mean=37.38). The mean and percentage of "to relax" are 2.82 and 16.40% and so it is highest among reasons.
