Objective 　To investigate the use of the mental health service by college students and the main factors which influence this.
Methods 　A stratified sampling study was conducted among 2 800 students from 5 of the top 100 colleges (as ranked by Internet). All five were located in Southwest China. The students were surveyed by the Questionnaires of Mental Health Service for College Students.
Results 　We retrieved 2 760 (98.58%) questionnaires. Of these, 11.2% of the students (310/2 760) used the mental health service before entering college. 13.6% (376/ 2 760) used mental health service after entering college, of these, 78.5%(295/376) broke off. The mental health service was needed by 32.7% (902/ 2 760), but they did not seek it. When college students considered the mental health service, 65.8%(1 815/2 760), were concerned about the ability of the service organizations to provide professional help, 48.4% (1 336/2 760) were concerned about the service cost, 47.9% ( 1 312/2760) were concerned about the convenience of the service and 38.0% (1 049/2 760) were concerned about social cultural factors.
Conclusion 　Currently, few college students use the mental health service. The main factors influencing the use of the mental health service by college students are the professional ability of the service organizations, the nature and severity of the student’s psychological problems, and the convenience and cost of the mental health service.
