The Academic Preparation, Aspirations, and First-Year Performance of First-Generation Students.
Riehl, Richard J.
College and University, v70 n1 p14-19 Fall 1994
This study compared the academic preparation, aspirations, and first-year college performance of first-generation college freshmen with other college freshmen at Indiana State University. It found that first-generation students were more likely to drop out during the first semester and had lower first-semester grades than students with one or more college-educated parents. (MDM)
