Studentry: an empirical research on the transition from secondary school to university

The paper examines the process of socialization in the university context of the first year students. In particular, we present the main results of an empirical research aimed at investigating the delicate moment of transition from secondary school to university of first year students of the 1st level degree course in Sociology at the University of Salerno. This phase of transition is defined as "Studentry" and it is connected to a set of fractures that involve a multiplicity of aspects of the student's life such as social relationships, method of study, up to a redefinition of his/her identity representation.
