Abstract

Managerialised universities perpetuate students as consumers, structures that physically and virtually separate the university community from one another, and relegate quality teaching as secondary to research output. This study reveals more of the impact of this by evoking a deeper view of embodied, unspoken first-year student experiences. Using an arts-based methodology (novel in this field), the struggles, perseverance, and hope during the first semester of study are seen. Not because of support from the managerialised university, but in spite of it. Social support from family and friends plays a peripheral part in this early stage, but their first semester is an experience of navigating their student lives alone. Students come to study with deep emotional reasons, not purely rational and financial ones. University leaders and academics should pay attention to an absence of social connection to the university community when transactional, managerialised conditions treat students as consumers – not learners.

Keywordsarts-based methodology; First Year Experience; universities; students as consumers; managerialism transitioning to university
