description Three dimensions in tension characterize the female students’ experience: socialization to the standards and university life, the construction of a learning project and the development of a professional project (or future projects). Starting from qualitative research, undertaken among students of the L1, for some enroled in a mass discipline (Psychology), and for others, in a more reduced, more elective field (Sociology-History and applied Foreign languages), this article aims to illustrate the trials which university studies involve. By enriching this material via other interviews carried out with students in the Master’s 1, we observe that the passage from secondary education towards higher education indicates a process in which the “choice” of the new university obliges the construction of a new relationship to studies, one revealing the effects of disciplinary specificities. The project of learning and the ways of appropriating knowledge accompany a process of subjectification to be reconciled with female student sociability, without neglecting future projects. It is in the interstices of these tensions that the risk of a scholarly failure resides, especially since the university remains little constraining, as testified to by the recurring evocations of students as to the category of “freedom”.
