Abstract
Each year, institutions all around are working together to enhance the college student experience. Administrators work with campus departments to try to figure out the best ways to serve their students. As time has passed, college campuses have become more diverse and the needs of the students are decreasing. Colleges are now dealing with special populations and must find the best way to serve and support these students. One of the most increasing student categories colleges are seeing today are first generation college students. These are students who are the first in their family to go to college (Atherton, 2014). The purpose of this paper is to explore the experiences of first-generation college students that attend four-year institutions with little to no resources available for their community. This paper will also share information as to how higher education professionals can better help first generation students adapt to the college lifestyle and succeed during their time there.
