“First generation” is a broad phrase, but the intention is to identify kids who have not had the benefits of a college educated parent, or perhaps from a family or community setting where sending kids off to college is uncommon, not part of the culture. Does that describe your background? If it does, you still can’t claim to be 1st generation college, because you’re not… but it helps sometimes to think of these questions in terms of their obvious intention.
