This paper presents the results from the study in which the main purpose was to examine the ways in which students of University of Zadar participate in the fandom. In the paper turn to Pierre Bourdieu’s theory and his idea of cultural capital through which we analyze how the fans separate themselves from ordinary people because of their knowledge of tv series, and how they differentiate within a fandom developing a hierarchy in which the more active fans carry a higher status that the casual fans. Our results show that the majority of students like to participate in casual activities such as talking to their friends about the series and following social media sites that post information on the series while the rarest forms of participation include some more demanding activities like visiting conventions, dressing as favourite characters and creating their own work. Besides that, the most active fans are those who like science fiction, fantasy and tv series about superheroes while the least engaged fans are those who watch hospital drama, reality show, comedy and drama. Degrees of cultural capital, measured through the number of books in the household and parent’s degree of education, have shown to be mainly insignificant.
