Institutes of higher education was encouraged to promote the ＂Service Learning＂ by the Ministry of Education in 2007. With the participation of young students, it fosters their ability of employment and understanding of civic responsibility. Since 2008, content of service learning has been included in courses in Ling Tung University. However, there is no relevant research on ＂Service Learning＂ of the school. Therefore, we sampled 480 junior students by two-stage sampling and investigated their cognitions and attitude of service learning, and willingness to work back home. To give advices to schools in planning courses of service learning. The results showed that most (more than 50%) of the students did not participate in clubs or any volunteer activities. There is 13.1% of the students got scores of the cognition evaluation lower than 6 on scale of 10. Average scores of attitude of service learning for students who took place in clubs, worked as domestic volunteers, or took extra courses including 10-hours after school service were significantly higher than those of the non-attendees (t =2.08，P_value =0.038). In addition, the proportion of back home employment was highly correlated with the place of residence (x^2=68.39, P_value＜0.001) and department of students (x^2=65.68, P_value=0.024). Hence, participating in activities is encouraged for students, adapted curriculum designs to the departments, and advocating successful cases in community establishment are recommended for schools.
