The aim of this research is to analyze the experience of fatherhood in some university students, taking into account the main difficulties and opportunities they experience in this process. Using a qualitative methodology and a case study approach, semi-structured interviews with an approximate duration of 60 and 120 minutes were ethically negotiated with male university studies at a UNAM campus. For young men who are university students, being a father transforms and continues to modify their lives in regard to their involvement with others. It is an experience that transforms their lives and involves difficulties because it confronts the normative trajectories of being a young person and a student, which implies a loss of freedom but also meanings of opportunity in the sense that being a university student becomes a way of being responsible, a good father, and being able to access better working conditions by continuing their studies.

Palabras llave : fatherhood; university students; experience; difficulties; opportunities.
