One hundred and fifty college students (Boys = 96, Girls = 54) from Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan College of Engineering and NR School of Architecture, Coimbatore, were selected for the study by Purposive Sampling Method and they were administered with Body Image-Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (BI-AAQ) and General Well Being Questionnaire (GWB). The result shows that there is positive correlation between Body Image and Well Being among College Students. Eating disorders can develop during any stage in life but typically appear during the teen years or young adulthood. Classified as a medical illness, appropriate treatment can be highly effectual for many of the specific types of eating disorders. Research shows that homosexual men are more vulnerable to eating disorders than heterosexual men in western society; dissatisfaction with the body has become a cultural norm. Most individuals have experienced the desire to modify some aspect of their appearance, for an example, hair that is too curly, a nose that is too long, or a scar that does not fade. The result showed that there will be no significant difference between male and female subjects in Body Image and Well being with Reference to Gender, Weight, Height, Religion, Area of Residence, Number of Siblings, Family Setup and Family Background and significant difference in well being with reference to Birth Order.
