Poland, having been a sending migration country for decades, is recently transforming into an immigration country. Among immigrants there is also a large youth group of Polish origin from the post-Soviet states who enrol at Polish universities. This autobiographical narrative interviews-based study attempts to apply the "roots migration" concept to the young Polish diaspora members' educational mobility patterns. It reconstructs biographical implications of their migration to their ancestral homeland. It also analyses the impact of "roots migration" on the transformation of the students' collective identity and sense of national belonging.
