Given that social support is provided in face-to-face communications and ICT mediated communication, this article discusses the types of social support from both communication models in a group of college students. The information was collected with Assis scale. The material and emotional support is mainly given by the face-to-face communication, suggesting that is the predominant form, both men and women (60.1%) for the provision of social support. However, the informational support is more received by mediated communication ICT, demonstrating its high level of social penetration and its impact on ways of interacting. The existence of a relationship between emotional support and sex was established, being higher in women. Similarly between its provision and age, being higher in younger people and, finally, although was expected to find a relationship between age and modes of communication, this was not established. For university students both communication models are complementary and facilitate the provision of support holistically, in a continuum
