Drawing on interviews with 64 college students at one highly selective campus and national longitudinal survey data from 28 campuses, we found that rather than developing a sense of belonging on campus at large, first-generation students were located in one of four different smaller multi-dimensional niches, what we refer to as campus geographies"--
