Abstract | "Sociological research on the experience of first-generation college students has expanded significantly in the last decade, providing broad-ranging data about the ways that these students enter college settings and their comparative progress toward graduation. However, we still know little about differences among first-gen students. In this book, we problematize the notion that there is only way to be a first generation student, and we consider the implications that different routes into and through college have for post-college mobility. Drawing on interviews with 64 college students at one highly selective campus and national longitudinal survey data from 28 campuses, we found that rather than developing a sense of belonging on campus at large, first-generation students were located in one of four different smaller multi-dimensional niches, what we refer to as campus geographies"-- Provided by publisher. |
