Abstrakt: The article presents information from a study of Puerto Rican circular migrant students (CMSs) between Puerto Rico and the Northeastern United States. The authors explain that interviews were used to identify the students' perceptions related to reasons for migration and circular migration and their perceptions of how circular migration (CM) affects them socially and academically, with the hope that the research would be used in support of the students. Structured interviews focused on students' "educational autobiographies" in the students' preferred language, and participants were from all levels of pre-college education. Descriptions of two interviews are included, as are implications for improving education and social support services for CMSs.
