The authors present the results of a research on the experience of young university students of Psychology and Preschool enrolled at the Tecnológico de Antioquia who are mothers/parents. Socioeconomic and affective conditions, the feminization of upbringing and the support for it are essential findings for the analysis of student desertion, especially of young mothers and their families, in whom the economic and affective responsibility for upbringing is concentrated, a subject little studied in Colombia. The mixed methodology made it possible to design and to monitor a survey that can be applied to the entire student population in order to intervene comprehensively and to prevent academic dropout.
