Investigating the university student's problems faced in university life: A sample of Turkey

Who comes to a university located in a province like Tokat and how, what are the class origins of students, how do the students affect from neoliberal transformation, how do they maintain their lives in the city they have been, in what conditions do they take shelter in, what are the sources of their income and how much income do they make a living? What are their viewpoints towards the university and its departments, do they have employment anxiety, what are their expectations and considerations towards future? At the same time, students should cope with matters such as adapting to academic and social environment of universities, nourishment and sheltering, meeting academic expectations and requirements, achieving to be independent within acquired social freedom, questioning their relationships with friends and opposite sex, and searching for professional opportunities. To sum up, besides being nice and enjoyable for students, university life is also a period when they encounter with several problems, as well. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
