Along with the development of Chinese higher education, the undergraduates become more and more popular, a series of anti-school culture phenomena appeared. Meanwhile, anti-school culture has not attracted many researchers' attention, or simply took it as abnormal. Therefore, on the basis of the relevant documents, the study first tries to clear up the origin of anti-school culture and the process of its theory evolution and put up some personal ideas, which is handled as unattached chapter. And then, after close interview, according to the description and explanation which are provided by interviewees, the study try to explore the types and characteristics of anti-school student behaviors and dig out its significance and effect on the perspective of education, which is used to evaluate the problems existing in our higher education. The results are summarized as follows:Firstly, anti-school culture is the minor student culture which deviates from the main school culture; the core is to challenge the authority and mainstream of catabolized culture, especially ideas in values. The main forms of expression are deviation, confrontation and challenges. In a sense, the challenge is positive. Meanwhile, the existence of anti-school culture also shows that our education system has some unreasonable or unfair factors.Secondly, this anti-school culture is mainly divided into types of "radical", "enjoyable", "innovating", "critical", "cold" and "perfunctory", which are connected as a whole with its own characteristics. The reasons for the formation are follows: Pop culture and social trends; traditional school culture and evaluation criteria; the relationship between teachers and students; Curriculum; Peer groups; School management, the family environment and some uncertain factors.Thirdly, the research results show that lower family socio-economic status is not the dominant factor. Intensity of the resistance of boys is greater than that of girls. The anti-school culture is not only for individual, but also groups. The anti-school resistance mainly focuses on school rules not on the target of education.The last, taking the view of educational pathology, educational waste, conflicts, lag and difference, all of those lead to the anti-school culture appear. We should guide the educational conflict develop towards to confliction, reduce educational waste, change the different view and then make the development of education in-phase with society , even in foreland of the age.
