This study aimed to verify students' expectations regarding higher education and to identify how the university can facilitate their adjustment to college. We interviewed 20 students from a public university. Their answers were submitted to content analysis. Students' expectation regarding higher education were greater interaction with classmates, better relationship with professors, a better education, more information about university and their major. Data indicated that the expectations which were not met when the students joined the university become suggestions about how the university may facilitate their adjustment. We conclude that the suggestions of the students may be useful to reformulate supporting services offered by universities.
