Interviews and documents are the basic elements sketching out this sociological analysis of university students in Cameroon, considered within a dynamic perspective. Our purpose is not to produce a critical analysis of the university system, but rather to listen to the discourses of students and teachers regarding the three following aspects: student life and ambitions, gender interaction in the university environment, and aims and strategies orienting their studies—knowing that the particular encapsulated society they are a part of is inscribed within a specific, global one upon which they depend, both initially (they have been socialized into it) and at the end of the process (the expectations invested in these youths). But what kind of job market—their key to a responsible, adult autonomy—do they face?
