- Authors
MEHTA, SANJAY S.; NEWBOLD, JOHN J.; O'ROURKE, MATTHEW A.
- Abstract
Previous studies have determined factors contributing to first-generation student success. This study finds that first-generation students are less involved, have less social and financial support, and do not show a preference for active coping strategies. First-generation students report less social and academic satisfaction as well as lower grade point average.
