Abstract
Introduction. It is very important to describe
the cultural consumption activities of university
students from Medellín´s Metropolitan Area,
because those activities are the actual reflection
of the social reality contemporary students are
really living within. Objective. To establish cultural
consumption and free time use characteristics
among university students from Medellín. Method.
A descriptive focus with a 34 questions survey as
a primary source was defined. Results. The lives
of current university students are surrounded by
activities that boost social encounters, but at
the same time those activities keep them away
from strong links that make them be integrated
and socially committed. On the other hand, the
most common use of free time among university
students is passive leisure. Conclusion. The
participation of university students in the activities
offered by University Welfare and by the academy
itself is relatively low. Just the opposite, activities
aiming to social encounters are regarded as more
relevant for this population, and this fact suggests
an institutional and social necessity of rethinking
the activities to be boosted in order to promote
culture in a diverse way, understanding the fact
that, even though universities aim towards an
academic purpose, such purpose must be joined
by cultural proposals that respond to the cultural
necessities university students have.
