The objective of the research was to analyze the civic culture of students in intercultural universities, through their attitude toward situations emblematic to assess ways of driving respectful and harmonious in common spaces of coexistence among academics. The frame of reference was critical sociology to address issues of citizenship and civic culture. The research was descriptive and quantitative. A citizenship questionnaire was designed and applied to a total of 228 students in intercultural universities from three regions of the country. The results were processed in SPSS and obtained descriptive statistics for each considered situation. The findings show variations in each condition according to the level of involvement perceived by participants in the situation. As the participant was perceived to be directly involved in the hypothetical situation, its civic attitude moved away from more civic conduct and even expressed willingness to incur fouls to get rid of them. In the situation in which the participant is perceived less involved or disrupted by the dilemma posed, civic responses had the highest frequencies and there was less variability in responses. It is concluded that civic culture is influenced by historical, social and cultural variables that make up the subjectivity of the subjects, and deserve to be studied.
