This text is part of the research that analyzes the profile of public school students who entered the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco through the Quotas Policy. The objective is to present, from reports collected through interviews, how these newly enrolled students in the two most competitive courses in 2018 present the challenges for academic literacy, which is influenced by the habitus, in its school trajectory and the perspectives of these young people for the diploma. In order to do so, we follow a qualitative approach and carry out a theoretical discussion about the concepts of habitus, thinking that this is constituted from a colonial imagery that the dimension politics contributes to de-structuring.

Keywords : Quotas Policy; University; Higher Education.
