Summary/Abstract: Hungarian students from across the border form a unique group in the Hungarian higher education sector: they continue their studies abroad compared to where they live, but they arrive in a similar cultural environment and study in their mother tongue. Among the students from across the border at the University of Szeged, the largest proportion of students come from Serbia due to the proximity of the border. In our study, we present a slice of the results of our research examining full-time students with dual Hungarian citizenship studying at the University of Szeged: in addition to their economic and cultural capital, we also examine their consumption of high culture. Our goal is to show what characteristics they have compared to previous studies, and whether they have a high(er) cultural and economic capital.
