In the greatest social change of the last twenty years about half
of Europe's young people now attend university. Their lived
experiences are however largely undocumented. Antonucci travelled
across six cities and three European countries - England, Italy and
Sweden - to provide the first ever comparison of the lives of
university students across countries and socio-economic
backgrounds. Contrasting students' resources and backgrounds, this
original work exposes the profound social effects of austerity and
the financial crisis on young people. Questionnaires and first
person interviews reveal that, in contrast with what assumed by HE
policies, participating in university exacerbates inequalities
among young people. This work is a wake-up call for re-thinking the
role of higher education in relation to social justice in European
societies.
