In this scope the purpose of this study is the determination of socio-cultural properties of students receiving education in Istanbul universities and also finding out whether there are such differences between students of state universities and students of foundation universities. Surveys have been carried out with university students of eleven Istanbul universities with this purpose and findings have been evaluated.
