This dissertation seeks to understand the process of adapting technical high school students who leave home towns to study and go to live in student housing from three technical high schools of a city in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul state. The study included 12 adolescents, aged between 15 and 17 years, of both sexes, from the 2nd year of three technical courses integrated into high school classes (Administration, Agriculture, Maintenance and Support in Computing). Individual semi-structured interviews to collect information were conducted. These ones were submitted to thematic content analysis. And the results organized into two empirical studies. The objective of the first study was to describe the feelings and perceptions related to the experience of leaving home and start living in student housing.The second study aimed to identify the facilitating and inhibitor factors associated to the process of adaptation. The experience of departure from the house of the parents and the entry into student housing in the technical high school allows students to feel more prepared for future experiments in higher education and, in addition, contributes to the development of maturity for these adolescents. Entering technical high school brings a number of personal changes to students, especially related to the acquisition of new responsibilities, which entail a number of changes that do not depend only on personal factors, but also contextual factors that are crucial to the success of this process. The results indicate that it is important that the technical high school develop strategies to better assist students who need to leave their homes and those living in student housing. Entering the technical high school is an experience that promote important personal changes, due to the new demands posed by the school environment, and the fact that teenagers start living away from parents.This experience, although it is considered stressful, it is also perceived positively, as something that produces personal growth. Thus, it is necessary to offer support to these students in order to promote their emotional, psychosocial and academic development. The results of this study may help promote theoretical advances in this area once it has been little studied.
