Geographies of Campus Inequality by Janel E. Benson Book PDF Summary

"Sociological research on the experience of first-generation college students has expanded significantly in the last decade, providing broad-ranging data about the ways that these students enter college settings and their comparative progress toward graduation.

Drawing on interviews with 64 college students at one highly selective campus and national longitudinal survey data from 28 campuses, we found that rather than developing a sense of belonging on campus at large, first-generation students were located in one of four different smaller multi-dimensional niches, what we refer to as campus geographies"--
