  The idea of writing my essay comes from the book ‘Embert barátjáról – A barátság szociológiája’
  written by Fruzsina Albert and Beáta Dávid. I am especially interested in the appearance and
  significance of the typical social capital, i.e. friendship, among the students of the Sapientia
  University of Miercurea Ciuc (Csíkszereda) and that of the ELTE (Budapest). In order to
  investigate the phenomenon of friendship, I chose a qualitative strategy, namely focus group
  research.
  Although I have expected greater contrasts by comparing the students of these two distinct
  locations, I have found that friendship among the interviewed young people constitutes universal value with more common than different patterns.
