Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the results of a survey on the psychodynamics of student course work (Dejours, 1993) conducted over a three-year period with some one hundred university students in twelve programs1. In addition to the high dropout rates during the first years of university, certain signs of distress observed by guidance counsellors prompted us to attempt to understand the anxiety that students feel about their future.
