Key points:

-The data collected by Eurostudent show a progressive increase in the number of students and the expansion of higher education in Europe. This increase is due to the opening of the university towards increasingly diverse profiles of students in relation to socioeconomic origin and age, which means greater equity in access and monitoring of higher education.

-The report stresses that Eurostudent are becoming more students entering college for alternative routes that enter with a lag since they finished high school, and are therefore more Sizes- that provide experience prior to the labor market, combining work and study, or transiting higher education with temporary interruptions. 

-The quality of higher education becomes a very important role in the implementation of the European Higher Education Area. Overcrowding and consequent diversity of the student requires to analyze and renew if necessary strategies for teaching and learning at the university.
