In the context of education, it may be that the term "first generation" refers to those who are the first in their immediate families to matriculate or graduate at some level of formal education. If so, you have a term with two different meanings in different contexts. There is no term that encompasses both meanings. But it would not apply to you in any case. | |

It has nothing to do with going to college or not. Many first generation immigrants are university graduates, in their country of origin. | |
