GAMALLO, Gustavo e NUNEZ, Pedro. The "adventure of the hero": migration project of the university student from Rio Negro. Trab. soc. [online]. 2013, n.20, pp.71-88. ISSN 1514-6871.
The article analyses the perceptions and representations of young undergraduates from Rio Negro who are currently studying in the cities of Bahía Blanca, Buenos Aires and La Plata. These perceptions are related to the opportunities and perspectives that the migration projects they have chosen present to their future professional and personal development. According to the information gathered, between 2005 and 2010, 1,200 students from Rio Negro have entered universities in the mentioned cities, specially the University of Buenos Aires, the National University of La Plata and the National University of the South. The qualitative research approach was based on in-depth interviews to 80 undergraduates from Rio Negro from different careers and years of study in the mentioned cities. A brief state of the art regarding the youth studies is presented first, making emphasis in the vacancy area that the research on university migrations has in Argentina. Then we present the families and the students' expectations regarding the migration project and describe the educational experience in each mentioned destiny. After that, we build four ideal types of trajectories of the migrant students from Rio Negro. Finally, we analyze the futures imagined by the young migrants, as well as the different restrictions (of social, cultural and economical capital) that they face and the social practices displayed during the migration process.
