With the popularization of higher education, ‘San-Ben Universities', be acknowledged as private universities and independent colleges have been increased in China. Despite how many criticisms ‘San-Ben University' has been incurred, the increasing numbers of the universities show that its development is unstoppable. However, studies on ‘San-Ben University' merely paid attention to an analysis of policies and institutions, topics regarding students of ‘San-Ben University' have not to be researched properly yet. In Japan's case, surveys that focused on students and conducted at ‘Border-Free University' were pointed out that is significant for understating the changes that happened in higher educational institutions nowadays (Yamada 2009). This paper aims to explore the alternative aspects of Chinese students who study at ‘San-Ben University' through the survey on students' learning behaviors. Interestingly, different from the social stereotype that students of ‘San-Ben University' merely care about entertainments rather than studies, the results of this paper reveal that students of ‘San-Ben University' not only pay attention to the classes but also study by themselves out of the classes. Based on this finding, it may be deduced that ‘San-Ben University' in China has the tendency of "schooling".
