Abstract

Many women who decide to study university have to leave their places of origin because there are no academic opportunities in their towns. At this stage of life, they separate from their loved ones to live in a place close to the university. Without prior training, they must learn to manage money, eat different things and get used to a new life style. The objective of this research was to investigate the students' experiences after leaving their place of origin, identifying pleasant and unpleasant experiences from the perspective of being a woman. The research is qualitative, with an inductive-analytical method, since it allows us to observe and formulate the results of the participants' experiences. According to the interviews, the life story and experiences, the results were written. In conclusion, the life stages of each of them, their way of living, and events that they have had to overcome throughout their university life were evident. The experiences of the participants are a small sample that does not intend to make generalities, but that happens to many women in several parts of the world.
