[quote=Anonymous]My take away from this is that colleges--especially schools like Princeton that have huge endowments--need to be doing more to help first gen students. They do not have networks at home, they can't afford to take on unpaid internships, they often have to work a job on campus, and they don't have personal networks for that first job out of college. Princeton should be providing funding for students to take unpaid but prestigious internships, increasing grants so that students don't have to work in order to participate in all the school activities they'd like to participate in (e.g., eating clubs), and should be actively assisting first gen students with alumni networking.[/quote]
