Statistical data analysis has revealed a four-factor structure of goal importance: life skills, positive social image, responsibility to the world and the others, and spirituality and religion. It is shown that responsibility to the world and the others is the most important factor compared to the other ones. For females, all factors are more significant than for males. A comparison is also made with regard to the academic specialty. Results have shown that among students in geography religion has a negative influence on personal happiness.
