<p>Both my parents couldn’t really afford to go to college, and I’M NOT afraid or embarrassed to say this.</p>
<p>But they could be called “successful” right now 
I’m proud</p>
<p>Dad went to Cincinnati and Mom went to SUNY Geneseo and then Delaware.</p>
<p>Mom-Tulane, transfer U Florida, Masters online U Missouri-Columbia

Northwestern =)</p>
<p>Mom - Fairfield undergrad, Sacred Heart grad
Dad - Villanova undergrad, U of Phoenix (lol) grad</p>
<p>I am aiming higher. I might apply to Villanova in hopes of merit aid.</p>
<p>My mom went to UCSB, and studied abroad in Mexico, although she wishes she had chosen UC Berkeley. My dad went to UPenn, which he loved, but graduated early because he was tired of being in school. I would definitely consider going to UPenn, but I wouldn’t want to go to UCSB (too close to home).</p>
<p>Both went to Michigan for Masters.</p>
<p>Mom: Colgate
Dad: Witchita State (lol)</p>
<p>Both went to Yale Law School</p>
<p>My dad went to Purdue, and my mom went to a local branch of IU. </p>
<p>And I’ll be going to Purdue next month.</p>
<p>My dad went to Canterbury College of Technology (in England) but left after a year because he received an apprenticeship working for a welder. My mum finished high school (at 16, which is normal in England) and never went to university. :)</p>
<p>I’m going to Wake Forest University in the fall.</p>
<p>Hey I always wondered, do I count as a first-generation student when I apply to US universities if I am an international student and both of my parents graduated from universities in Soviet Union?</p>
<p>^ I know someone who did that (he was accepted to Princeton and Yale).</p>
<p>Mom - transferred to Auburn University from American Samoa CC
Dad - Didn’t go to college.</p>
<p>Dad- University of South Alabama then Tulane
Mom- went to USA, dropped out, went to Tulane</p>
<p>Dad - Davis, Columbia, Rochester
Mom - Davis</p>
<p>Mom: went to BU, dropped out, went to UNH
Dad: accepted to BC, but didn’t go to college.</p>
<p>Mom: University of Michigan
Dad: Michigan State</p>
<p>It’s just a good thing that my mom doesn’t care about football at all. :)</p>
<p>Mom: Fisher College
Dad: UMass Boston</p>
<p>Mom: Dropped out of high school due to financial reasons and racism
Dad: Dropped out due to certain family situations</p>
<p>Mom’s still bitter. Dad refuses to state his opinion. Both want me to attend university or else.</p>
