This paper deals with the impact of college experience regarding the identification of young students with political, economic, and social liberalism. The relevance of this experience in their paths is directly related to the affective dimension that links friendships to the construction of political affinities. The results we present here are part of an ethnographic investigation of two and a half years, and in-depth interviews with young liberals from Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brazil, that formed the Luís Gama Collective and showed how the arrival at the university allowed these young group of people to negotiate knowledge, dispositions and political preferences in a socio-political context of transition between the left-wing and extreme right-wing (2016-2018).
