The study aims to examine perspectives of students in Roma Student Societies in Hungary about their present and future, emphasizing their experiences of social mobility and social responsibility. Complex data collection was applied between 2022 and 2024, involving students within the Roma Student Society Network. The study focuses on the responses of university students who identify as Roma (n=108) and presents a qualitative and descriptive statistical analysis of two open-ended questions. Based on the results, Roma student societies are supportive communities, which besides individual resources and family background, play a prominent role in navigating the challenges associated with upward social mobility. Regarding their future aspirations, family and work play a dominant role, while the intention to help others is also present considerably. These results suggest that Roma student societies support individual academic progress, also contribute to individual mobility, the development of future-oriented attitudes and social responsibility. The study provides contribution to a deeper understanding of Roma youth’s participation in higher education and their social engagement.
