Bill Mckibben has ever said that consumerism is the most powerful ideology so far--now, there is no place on the earth can escape the magic of wonderful life desire ." China is experiencing the development of economy, politics, culture and social life that never have been. Besides, with the increasing of international cooperation, the inter-company, the coming of foreign media, the pragmatism and f hedonism of western countries have great influences on the Chinese. Therefore, we need to call for new conception of consumption, establish healthy consumption pattern, create optimistic consumption culture and improve the harmony between people and people, people and nature, people and society.
Contemporary university student is a special group of the society. On the one hand, they are one of the major group of consumption, they have independent realization and characteristics of consumption. On the other hand, they are the leader power of the major power and consumption tendency of future China. Thus, their consumption situation, attitude and pattern will have vital effects on the economy development and consumption culture. In order to have better understanding these issues, it is necessary to make a survey to have a deep look into university students’ daily consumption.
Key Words: University students; Consumption; Survey; Question
II. Survey
It’s quite important for us to know how to arrange our money in our daily life. And to know more detailed information about the way university students spend their money, Cherry and Ann made a survey in Hefei University from May 8, 2012 to May 16, 2012. Actually, the subject of this survey was the English Major student, and the way of this survey was sampling survey. In other words, 120 students were chose to join the survey, and then the result of the survey was recorded by charts and graphs. , The types of survey were the longitudinal study and the comparison, and the findings are in the following information.
After adding up and summarizing the data we got from the questionnaires, we make the following charts and graphs.
Chart1. The survey of university students' daily consumption
The chart1 is the data of university students’ daily consumption, and you could find that the board and snacks fee are in majority of university students’ daily consumption. In other words, students spend much of their living expenses in foods. Besides, some students also spend parts of their living expenses in luxury products, such as Cosmetics and nutrition. But these products are too expensive to afford now to them. What’s more, many students don’t spend much money in their studies. And it is really a surprise to find that.
Next, the comparison type of study is used to get more information about the daily consumption of university students.

As you can see, the chart2 is a comparison between male and female undergraduates’ daily consumption. It’s very easy to find that male undergraduates’ spend much more money in board than female undergraduates, while females spend much more money in snacks, luxury products and clothes. And from this, you could find that there are some differences between males and females. Females take more attentions to their appearance, and they want to be different and unique. In contrast, males have high demand food services. In addition, females work harder than males,
so they spend much more money in learning. Chart3. The comparsion of the female university

female university students, and the variable is the time. Then you would find that the females have a different way to arrange and spend their money in different grades. When they become sophomore from freshman, they spend less money in their foods, including board and snacks, but spend a litter more money in luxuries and clothes, as well as learning. The reason may be they want to be more charming or mature, and
they work more hared because they have a TM4 examination in sophomore year.
Chart4. The comparsion of the male university
students's daily consumption in freshman and sophomore

And it’s obvious that male students spend much less money in board, but spending more in snacks, luxury products, and clothes. So, it is not right to say only females care about their appearance, the male students also care. Besides, they also spend more money in learning because of the TM4 examination.
From the above charts, you can find there are many wrong attitudes and ways to spend money, so here are some solutions to solve them.
IV. Solutions
According to the survey results and analysis, there are mainly four methods to solve the problems. Firstly, it is very important to strengthen students’ independent realization and the ability of managing money matters. This kind of ability is important in the competitive society. The financial management is not only the simple calculation of numbers and the simple balance of incomes and expenses, it needs
independent action and logical thinking. University time is the golden period of financial management, thus, having a good consumption habit will benefit us a lot in the future. Secondly, we need to overcome the mentality of comparing unrealistically. Due to different living condition and background, the differences of consumption ability cannot be avoided. What we need to do is to set the right attitude and scientific realization of consumption. We can communicate with our parents and teachers or professional psychological help when we are confused. Thirdly, facing to the present consumption of students and the misleading of consumption education, school should take the responsibility to help students set up right view on this issue through class meeting, lectures, competition and other ways. It is better if they can cooperate with the parents. Fourthly, students should pay more attention on the spiritual consumption and develop good consumption habits. University students don’t have fixed income. Thus , spiritual consumption can compensate the lack of material consumption and rich the cultural life. University students need to edify sentiment and gain knowledge through all kinds of educational cultural activities.
Generally speaking, pursuit pragmatic and rational consumption are the mainstream of university students. However, there are still few of them who aren’t. If those cannot change the irrational attitude on time, it will bring bad effects on both students’ psychological health and burden the economy pressure of family and even the development of society. Thus, the effort of students, parents and school should be paid continuously.
