According to the Brown website: “The formal definition of first generation college student is a student whose parents did not complete a four-year college education. At Brown we think of it more as any student who has an experience different from that of others whose family background is knowledgable and understanding of the Brown experience. This could be because your parents attended college in a different educational system, outside the US, because the part of your family you have close contact with did not go to college, or many other reasons”. Since neither of my parents completed a four-year college education, I guess I am considered a first generation college student. Yay!
