hi! one of my parents went to college while the other didn’t. does this make me a first-gen student ?
No, since one went to college.
Note, however, that if the one who went to college did not complete a bachelor’s or higher degree, that can fall into where colleges have different definitions of “first generation”. Some colleges define “first generation” as “no parent attended college”, while others define it as “no parent completed a bachelor’s or higher degree”.
