Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we will try to prove one of our hypotheses, which is that the construction of social capital is present in students’ dorms. The social capital of an educational institution such as a students’ dorm is reflected in the mutual trust and cooperation of all elements of the education system. These are primarily pupils, educators and parents. Of great importance is the degree of mutual trust of students and educators, especially the perception of students about it. Cooperation among students does not exclude the rivalry. In the very concept of this paper, a case study will be applied to the example of secondary school students’ homes on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
