Abstract	The usage of term "Latinx" has gained popularity in higher education settings. This study documents how 34 Latinx/a/o students relate to, identify with, and understand the term "Latinx." Participants perceive higher education as a privileged space where they use the term "Latinx." Once they return to their communities, they do not use the term. Due to the variations in understandings of the term, the author contends that one should consider using the term "Latin*". (As Provided).
