The main aim of this research is to examine the opinions and sentiments of university students in the department of social service regarding the concept of education. This research is based on a mixed research design where both qualitative and quantitative data are both used. In the first part of the study, students are asked to write an essay about what does the concept of education means to them. Then the data was analyzed in MATLAB and SPSS and different online text and sentiment analysis tools. The population of the study consists of the social services department in Iğdır University. The sample was selected from 16 third-grade students in the social services department of which 4 are male 12 of them are female students based on the convenient sampling method. The first finding shows that the sentimental tone of the whole responses is neutral but there is a slightly positive tone due to the higher slightly positive, positive, and very positive values. The second finding reveals that the range of female students regarding their sentiments is broader than the male ones. It seems that although students have a cognitive understanding regarding the importance of education they are less enthusiastic about it in the context of the affective domain.
