Tingu et al show in this study how a married student is to cope with University studies. The anthors have noticed that a married student goes through a deal of problems : 1) the fight to succeed in his own studies, 2) the learning difficulties at an adult age and 3) the issue of harmonization of a treefold role as student, husband and father. Tingu et al have inventoriated a certain number of obstacles a married student encounters along a study life. As a matter of fact, besides his personal situation he must watch over the studies of his children and the welfare of his family and live a normal family life. To end with, the authors
conclude that such a position requires serious capacities of adaptation.
