Abstract
This paper seeks to examine the cultural consumption of classes and various groups of students in Mazandaran University. In the theoretical part, the view of Pierre Bourdieu has been employed. The research was conducted using survey method, questionnaire, and cluster sampling among 400 students of the University. Results indicate that despite the approval of class distinctions and differences between groups in some aspects of cultural consumption, low correlation coefficients and insignificant differences in other dimensions make class theory in Iran, or at least in Iranian academic community, ineffective. In fact, in the conducted research and among these university students, Bourdieu's theory of classification of cultural consumption failed to provide an appropriate explanation.
