Summary/Abstract: This article offers an anthropological analysis of how identities are constructed in the Transylvanian case, and more precisely at the “Babeş-Bolyai” University, between the Romanian and the Hungarian students. Firstly, I will try to find a proper definition for identity because as there are so many meanings or, on the contrary, not enough, we could arrive at a so called “identity” crisis (Brubacker, Junqua, 2001). Secondly, I will use the constructivist approach to analyze the ways in which identities of Romanian and Hungarian students are constructed within the frame of the “Babeş-Bolyai” University, and out of it, taking into account three factors: Time (Memory and History), Space and Language.
