摘要：Getting into the university involves changes from high school that require students’ adjustment. These changes may become challenges for the students, who frequently seek help from their support network to cope with them. This study aimed to investigate and compare perceptions of freshman and senior students regarding the main difficulties during college as well as the support network they build. Twenty four college students of Economy and Psychology from a university in Rio Grande do Sul were interviewed. The data collected were examined by content analysis. Three categories were identified: i) difficulties during college, ii) support network, and iii) changes in family relations. Similarities and differences were observed between freshman and senior students concerning the aspects that were investigated. The similarities are likely to be a result of the demands during college and the differences may be associated with changes these students experienced in this period.
