SUMMARY:

.The aim of this research is to try to understand the way of life of students who live in a student residence, as well as the implications that this experience has in their academic life. It has been used a qualitative methodology and a participative approach through an ethnographic research experienced inside the student residence, which is located in a public university in the southeast of Minas Gerais. Based on the theoretical framework of Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy, this investigation proposes a critical view of the reality of people from lower classes that face the injustices of the social inequality present in different ways of oppression and dehumanization. The student assistance is explored in different moments, going through a historical rescue of the theorization of the topic and the implementation of the assistance for poor students in a Brazilian context. The suggested analyses are made from data excerpts, interviews and transcriptions of recorded conversations during the experience. The research is divided into six chapters: in the first one we make preliminary discussions about the poor student and his/her continuity in a public university, contextualizing the racial issue in the discussion; in the second, we discuss the student residence as an acquired right, and consider the public policies of student assistance in Brazil through a historical rescue and a bibliographic survey; in the third, we focus on a discussion about the realization of a research in a student residence and we discuss about the negotiations and conditioning to realize the project in the specific area; in the fourth, we deal with the historical background when it comes to student residence; in the fifth, we present the residents who live in the student residence and took part in the research and mention about their life stories and academic experience. In this chapter, we also discuss the academic daily lives of the students and their relationship with the “Pró-reitoria de Assuntos Estudantis”; and lastly, in chapter six, we show a review about the dehumanizing oppression that could be observed in the experience. The research enabled us to understand how the dehumanization is present in the life of the students who live in the student residence from the project, and several oppressions such as hunger, racism, homophobia, xenophobia, chauvinism, insecurity, poor working conditions, lack of infrastructure and access to study, have been reported and analyzed. It has been noticed that, although the student assistance has a fundamental role in the students who are in social vulnerability, a demand is necessary for the improvement of these policies, which do not assist the students completely. Despite the injustice involved, the research allowed us to see that the students who live in this researched student residence believe in the potentiality of studying, engaging themselves in their academic activities. Furthermore, they also believe that education is a hopeful way for a better, fairer and less dehumanizing future.
