This article gives an account of one of the elements analyzed in the doctoral thesis on social relations in the University; specifically of the category "power". The research was done under a qualitative design, with a hermeneutic method; through 14 workshops with interactive techniques and in-depth interviews. 119 young people (men and women) enrolled in different undergraduate programs in Social Sciences and Education, from public and private universities (4 campuses and 6 venues), located in the department of Antioquia (Colombia). The analysis of the results yielded four major subcategories, each one configured according to the participants' reports; in this case the analysis of two of them is presented: "The power associated to the instituted authority: to maintain the status quo" and "The own power and the conscience on the matter: to have more, to be more".

Palabras clave : Young; university; power.
