The studyis based on empirical research and the perspectives of the main actors: the immigrant studentsthemselves. To this end, a non-experimental and descriptive quantitative methodology was used.The sample consisted of 100 students of foreign origin enrolled in an Italian school located in atypical socio-cultural environment.
