The deadline is dreaded by many high school students. Thursday, June 1, at 7 p.m., final year students will finally discover the first results of their wishes on the Parcoursup platform. Cries of joy or feeling of injustice: this main admission phase is crucial for them. It determines their training, their place of study, but also their potential professional orientation.

But for some high school students, especially from rural areas, a barrier was established long before that of the algorithm. Their wishes depend on other factors: inflation crisis, housing problem, long journeys to reach the city, fear of not feeling in their place, lack of information, skepticism of parents… The major French cities may seem inaccessible to future students. Do you feel concerned by this description? Whether you are in final year or currently studying in higher education, and if you are from a rural area, your testimony interests us. You can contact us in the form below.

Your answers will be consulted in the coming days by our journalists. They will remain confidential and no publication concerning you will take place without your agreement. The testimonials that have caught our attention will give rise to direct contact.
