Abstract The topic of Smart Cities is nowadays very broadly discussed. In order to be able to move beyond theory and make some practical progress, the concept of building blocks shall be adopted. In this paper, we address one particular building block Smart Campus and try to understand its key features. University is typically a part of most big cities and forms a unique environment. Smart city theory clearly states that improving the quality of life of particular citizens shall be the main objective. Even though a university has also different stakeholders, students form a homogenous group with often common objectives. The objective of this paper is to propose a method to learn about student preferences and perception of different smart cities with respect to university campuses. For this reason, design of a survey which can be used by different universities to learn about the expectations of the end users - students - with respect to the smart concept is presented and discussed. Additionally, results of two pilot evaluations are presented. On purpose, two universities with rather different background and different cultural background were selected: Czech Technical University in Prague (Czech Republic) and Thammasat University in Thailand. A pilot survey was executed and the analysis of the results using basic econometric methods, inferential statistics and logistic regression is provided.
