<p>Are you a first generation if one of your parents started college but didn't finish.. they dont have any type of degree?</p>
<p>Yes, if your parents didn't graduate from college you would be considered a first generation.</p>
<p>Do both parents have to have not graduated from college to be considered first generation, or can it just be one?</p>
<p>The OP did ask "if ONE of your parents.." .. So I was curious.</p>
<p>To be considered first generation neither parent can have graduated from college.</p>
