The politicalness of students as a subgroup of young people is of special interest for the society because it is the students who occupy leading positions in society and politics through the shift of generations. In accordance with that, the politicalness of students is an indicator of the direction the society is moving in the future. This paper presents the results of a qualitative research conducted by the method of interviews with eight students of the University of Zadar. The aim of the research was to deepen the knowledge of the ways in which students think about politics within the Croatian society and whether they see themselves in the role of politicians. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the knowledge of the politicalness of students as a subgroup of young people in the current period. Through conversations with students it is learned that the cause of the passivity and general apathy of young people towards political issues can be found in the fact that politics is boring and often predictable because the same affairs are repeated with different actors. Students assess the current state of politics in the country as bad, most often criticizing inefficient politicians and the tendency of corrupt actions of political actors. All of this shapes a negative perception of politics among students, and they do not have the will to become politically active, but outsource these detected problems to the same political actors they criticize.
