Inside The College Gates by Jenny M. Stuber
Using interviews and institutional data, the book examines how students from different social-class backgrounds experience college in markedly different ways: working-class and first-generation students often face financial strain, cultural mismatches, limited social capital, and competing family responsibilities that constrain campus engagement, academic success, and career planning; campus norms and institutional practices frequently privilege middle- and upper-class behaviors and networks, reproducing inequalities even as higher education provides opportunities for mobility, and the author identifies the social mechanisms and policy implications that could make colleges more accessible and equitable.
