Focus on entrepreneurial behavior of college students and do better to promote their entrepreneurial activities were especially important and urgent in today. Intention is an objective index to predict the behavior of entrepreneurial behavior. The study on entrepreneurial intention can make a better understanding of the entrepreneurial action. In this paper,997undergraduates of16universities in Guangxi province were the research objects. This paper was from the perspective of human capital theory based on social capital to used two data analysis methods to study the difference of the entrepreneurial intention of College students. From the general description analysis of the entrepreneurial intention of college students and the entrepreneurial motivation, the field of venture capital, venture investment and venture investment location specific characteristics, results showed that the entrepreneurial intention of college students was at a relatively low level and entrepreneurial motivation was mainly for economic benefit. Commercial/retail is the entrepreneurial industry that college students preferred. The entrepreneurial scale of college students tend to medium size and the small and medium-sized city is the first choice of university students’ innovative undertaking. The interactive classification method was used to respectively analysis the interaction of different variables (gender, age, nationality, profession, grade, school type, father’s occupation, mother’s occupation and family income levels etc.) and entrepreneurial intention. Results showed that gender, grade and family income level were significantly related with entrepreneurial intention. Differences between the social gender role expectations lead to gender differences in entrepreneurial intention, male shows higher entrepreneurial intention than female. Due to differences in social experience different grades of college students will have different understanding of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial intention. The lower the grade entrepreneurial intention is higher while the higher grade the entrepreneurial intention is lower. Entrepreneurial intention showed a decline as the grade getting higher. Different family income levels can provide different entrepreneurial capital and venture which also lead to the difference of college students’ entrepreneurial intention. Effect of family income on the entrepreneurial intention will be different for different gender:for men, when family income level is low, the entrepreneurial intention is also low. When family income level is high, the entrepreneurial intention is also high. Entrepreneurial intention with the increase in family income and high; for women, low income and high income women’s entrepreneurial intention is higher than that of middle-income women. The test results also showed no significant correlation between entrepreneurial intention and the variables such as age, nationality, occupation, professional institutions, father or mother’s occupation. The ages of college students was relative concentrated in the same stage, so significantly different entrepreneurial intention of college students caused by age was not be found. National equality policy to ensure that the different nationality students enjoy the equal employment right, so students’ entrepreneurial intention is not due to differences in ethnic composition of the different. No entrepreneurial intention significantly difference of students who in different professional backgrounds was found. Junior college and university students are likely to succeed in a job search and not because of the pressure of employment to exhibit different entrepreneurial intention. Students’ entrepreneurial intention will not because the parents’ occupation vary, because occupation does not necessarily exist in intergenerational inheritance.
