Do colleges consider you a first generation student if my parents completed college in another country and you aren’t living with them anymore? (I’m under legal guardianship with my aunts of whom one has a BSN)
No.
If one parent has a degree, regardless of the country and regardless if the parent is utilizing the degree currently, you are not considered first-gen
Anyway, there is no check box on the application that says “Check here if you are first gen.” You list your parents’ education and the college will use that info as it sees fit. No sense in overanalyzing it, because it’s out of your control.
^ This is the definitive answer.
