"Based on a detailed ethnography of students from Eastern Europe in Denmark, this book makes a major contribution to the growing literature on student migration. It challenges the myth that international students are a privileged elite and unveils their complex and precarious journeys as students, workers and graduates, as well as their transition from youth to adulthood."
Russell King, School of Global Studies, University of Sussex, UK
"Based on engaging ethnographic accounts, this book offers a very timely contribution to the field of international student mobility, scholarly and politically. Through its nuanced and historically anchored analysis of new regional flows of student migrants, it compels us to rethink dominant ideas of contemporary student migration and more broadly fundamental dynamics between mobility and immobility."
Karen Valentin, Associate Professor, the Danish School of Education, Aarhus University, Denmark
"This book makes an extremely valuable and timely intervention into increasingly vibrant debates around the internationalisation of higher education and international student mobility. Drawing on longitudinal ethnographic fieldwork over a number of years to construct the experiences and narratives of students, the book proffers a compelling and original argument around their mobility from Eastern to Western Europe. It is a must-read for all scholars working in this area."
Johanna L. Waters, Professor of Human Geography, University College London, UK
