  In the paper, we try to demonstrate what migration trends in Beregszász have been conducted
  in focus group discussions on everyday ethnicity, and how ethnicity appears in these migration
  processes. In the study, we mainly summarize the findings of the research, which we carried
  out in the summer of 2016 and reflected in some descriptions of the changes that have taken
  place since the summer of 2017. The study is primarily descriptive and only interprets issues
  within ethnicity and ethnic categories, we do not aim to compare the conclusions with previous
  migration research results. In the analysis, the social constructivism methodological approach
  is applied. Our aim is to present the discourses: how the opinions are constructed and differing
  opinions can form unity.

  There has been structural change in higher education due to the impact of institutions built or maintained in private public partnership. The aim of the paper is to give a deep insight into how these institutions could accomodate or shape the public higher education sector’s discouses, spaces, procedures. The research used mixed method to approach this complex question from a multidisciplinary perspective (sociology, education). Within this framework two residential halls were chosen and 17 interviews were carreid out with all relevant figure of the management. Due to the analytical tools of Maxqda 12 the qualitative results will be presented giving an insight into the differing discourses and practices of the public vs. private-public management. Based on the analysis of the managerial interviews it is safe to state that the public management struggles to balance a communitarian, democratic discourse and objectives with the requirements of efficiency and accountability. The presence of private-public management unintendedly shapes its public counterpart. The institutional analysis revealed that due to the swiftly changing institutional and policy environment residential halls are forced to be efficient leading to difficulties in managerial legitimacy and questions concepts such as community, conformity, commitment and action. Under the circumstances of increasingly growing institutional service-based dependency and control, academic consumers, institutions and students alike, paradoxically avoid integrating into macro groups. As a consequence, the institution encourage and educate student into a particular type of citizenship based on communication and consumerism rather than consensus.
