There are basically presented empirical data obtained by the South West University sociological project carried out at 2013 with 4 year students. The outcomes of the present paper are: - The groups affect the individual through neighborhood contacts and connections. - Students are disappointed by the economic situation and political elite in the country. - Students have little trust in institutions. - Education is a factor for social capital and mobility. - Students insist on the disciplinary mission of education and its related activities.
