<p>How many generations of your family have attended college?</p>
<p>i’m the first…</p>
<p>I’m the second generation to.</p>
<p>First in America. My grandmother may have gone to college in England but no one is sure.</p>
<p>My grandmother went to college to be a nurse. I don’t know how things worked 100+ years ago when my family was wealthy, but now most of them go into careers that don’t require university. </p>
<p>Both my parents have advanced degrees, and my cousins have plans to/are attending college.</p>
<p>Depending on how you count it I’m the second or third. I believe my grandma on my dad’s side either start or thought about college but she never finished.</p>
<p>My Granny studied French.</p>
<p>But hers was the first middle class generation, I’m sure my great-grandparents didn’t go.</p>
<p>I’m the second generation.</p>
<p>I’ll be the fourth, I think.</p>
<p>None. I’m the first.</p>
<p>My grandparents for sure did, at least three of the four… so my daughter will be 4th generation.</p>
<p>1st generation</p>
<p>I believe me and my sister are the second gen.</p>
<p>1, my mother was the first to go to college.</p>
<p>Two before me, I know one grandpa went to Birmingham Southern then to Emory law, then the other went somewhere so he could become an FBI agent (and a teacher), and my grandmother’s attending Georgia State at the moment. So I’m the third generation. Strange, I figured my family would be less educated than most CC families. =P</p>
<p>second, first in the US</p>
<p>
Oxford was founded in the 12th century, Cambridge in the 13th century, Harvard in 1636.</p>
<p>It is true though that a college education was reserved for the upper class before the 20th century.</p>
<p>I’m the third. My grandmother was one of the youngest of 13 kids. She was the only one to go to college. She even worked on her master’s degree in chemistry at UT. She didn’t finish, because she met my grandfather and married him. He got his master’s at the University of Wisconsin. We’re not sure how he ended up there, since he grew up in west Texas. The coincidence is that my husband came down to Texas from Wisconsin for his graduate degree!</p>
<p>My great great grandfather on my Dads side went to the University of Florida. My great grandfather went to Ga Tech, my grandfather went to Texas A&M, my dad went to the University of Florida. and I am there now.</p>
<p>So that is 5. </p>
<p>My grandma is 80 and she remember all of this. She did tell me I could look it up in the family archives which is contained in 4 large metal files. I will take her word for it. Plus my grandfather used to tell me a lot about family history and I remember him mentioning all of these schools.</p>
<p>I have to give kudos to my parents. They are both college graduates, and then all of their five children (my siblings) are college graduates, and so far every grandchild (that are ages 34-18) has either graduated or is currently enrolled in college. So far 10 grandchildren have college degrees. The other 3 are high school age or younger. Education was a very important element in our lives and in the lives of our children.</p>
<p>My parents were the children of immigrants with 3rd grade educations.</p>
