This text proposes examining the quality of the training of students at the university as a dimension of their academic performance. A survey investigation carried out among 115 students inscribed in the human and social sciences and letters in five universities of the Paris region between 2005 and 2008 was interested in their point of view relative to their learning career and the sense given to the fact of going to the university and learning there. Two tools were mobilized in this investigation: interviews and longitudinal follow-ups of a group of students for two to three years. The data this investigation revealed allowed us to identify four perspectives for learning (comprehensive, powerful, minimalist and simplifying) representing the variations of the relationship to learning in the university context in France. Focussing on the socialization and the intellectual affiliation of the students to the university, the investigation also tries to examine the impact of biographical, social and contextual factors in the university’s future from a sociological point of view.
