The consumption habits of the university student. The case study UAEM Temascaltepec University Center
Abstract
The economic conditions of Mexican students determine to a large extent the possibilities of carrying out their university studies, especially students from municipalities with higher poverty rates that have fewer opportunities to pursue their higher education, under the conditions of poverty in Mexico that are estimated between 34.9% and 36.2%, for which reason having solid references on the estimation of expenses required to pay for goods and services necessary in higher education is of great importance, thus allowing future university students to have a clearer and more precise notion of the expenses that they will have to face in their university life. A case study was carried out with the undergraduate students of the UAEM Temascaltepec University Center that allowed the identification of the goods and services that the students require, to show that the student derogates $8 607.76 Mexican pesos per month to solve these needs. The statistical analysis (ANOVA) allowed us to identify that the expenses made by the students are statistically the same (p>0.05) in the different degrees. In contrast, significant differences (p<0.05) were found in the expenses incurred by students from the municipalities analyzed and the multiple comparison of means showed that students from the municipality of Valle de Bravo are the ones that incur the highest expenses with an average amount of $15 206.77 Mexican pesos. This information will help future university students to carry out a savings plan and actions that allow them to cover the necessary expenses, allowing them to enter and complete their studies.
