This paper aims to go into the subject of the insertion of students, who were admitted through the system of quotas at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) in 2012, emphasizing their experience on the university and valuing their speech throughout our study. Although education is an important social right guided by the principle of equality, a path of inequalities experienced by various social groups regarding access and permanence is noticeable, in both qualitative and quantitative terms throughout the history of education in our country, constituting an important compelling factor of the demarcation of social roles. Thus, the implementation of affirmative actions regarding the higher education admittance brings a new dynamic to the university, diversifying the student’s body profile and advancing toward a democratization process. However, in addition to admittance, it is necessary to make progress when it comes to permanence, since these are complementary factors when it comes to the conclusion of higher education, which therefore make the democratization of education possible. Hence, considering that the adoption of affirmative actions in UFRJs admittance process is recent - since 2011 - our study strived to come up with the issues experienced by the students who were admitted at the university through these affirmative actions and analyze positive and negative aspects of their academic life in order to comprehend how this process has been perceived by the subjects of our research.
Our study was based in ten interviews with higher education students of different courses at the end of 2013. Through this reflection we intend to contribute to the understanding of changes that have been occurring at this level of teaching and
also to ponder about what is still necessary to be changed to reach a larger democratization regarding higher education.
