Although many of its causes are known, it affects more and moreyoung people who decide to start a university career and who, due to various factors, leave itbefore finishing it.This research work has as its main objective to know why some students decide toleave the career and others, with similar social and learning contexts, instead, they areresilient, they strive to finish their degree in spite of the adversities and they finish.In order to understand how these processes are produced and to determine thedifferences, we decided to use a qualitative methodology, using the life history technique ofthe research participants, which describes the family, personal, economic and universitysituations for which they have passed these students during their university stage.Ten students were intentionally selected as participants, based on the personal, family,economic and university characteristics, since what really interested us was knowing theirpassage through the educational system before, during and after the university stage.The analysis and results showed that students who had left the university hadeconomic, family or decision problems, as well as resilient students. The difference betweenboth group is that the students who left the university have different psychologicalcharacteristics to resilient students.Those who left are people without clear goals or doubts about their future and havealso made bad decisions when choosing the career. While resilient students have alwaysknown what they really wanted for their future, they are persevering, persistent and despitehaving encountered difficulties of different kinds during their university stage, they havemanaged to overcome these adversities and continue their studies with very clear goals fromthe beginning YR 2018 FD 2018 LK http://riull.ull.es/xmlui/handle/915/11050 UL http://riull.ull.es/xmlui/handle/915/11050 LA es DS Repositorio institucional de la Universidad de La Laguna RD 19-abr-2024
