Abstract
The introduction of periphery students into Israeli colleges reflects the government's policy of equality in higher education for minority and underprivileged populations, as well as the growing demand for higher education among such groups. Colleges that opened their doors and admitted students with lower credentials are expected to provide the physical, psychological and educational required environments, and facilitate the learning interactions of these students with the administrative and educational staff in order to support their personal and academic development. This study examines the perceptions of 656 Jewish (45%) and Arab (55%) students regarding their learning environments and self-efficacy during their studies at the college. The quantitative and qualitative analysis presents similarities and differences between Jewish and Arab students' background and perceptions. The recommendations underline the importance of a future measures that are required in order to advance the success of the diverse groups of students in Higher Education.
