<p>My Dad never went to college but my mom did in Argentina only for a associates degree. But do I count as first generation in America?</p>
<p>You are a first generation American if you were born in the US. </p>
<p>If your mom has an Associates Degree in Argentina, you are not the first in your family to attend college.</p>
<p>You are a first generation college student if neither of your parents attended college. There is no distinction between American colleges and international colleges.</p>
