[quote=Anonymous]I tend to think some on this thread don't quite understand why first gen is a thing. but a one myself. and now someone who mentors students, you should know that it is about sizable gaps in information, preparation and knowledge about the process. And yes, that can apply often to children of immigrants who may have degrees but are ignorant of the American college system. As one glaring example, the graduation rates among 1st gen is much lower. Not because people are not prepped academically, but often b/c financial planning was for a single year. I remember not knowing that study abroad was even an option and never knew to ask. But now after having been through that the difference between my kids and my own experience, just based on the info and resources I can pass on, is radical.[/quote]
