Chapter 3 addresses the ways that social class, economic resources, and family backgrounds affect students’ experiences of college. Students learn about the value of college: that college is important to earn a degree for specific skills and credentials, while it also teaches the “rules of the game,” referred to in scholarship as acquiring cultural capital. This chapter also addresses how students’ social class backgrounds affect how easy, hard, or different from high school they find the college experience to be, and how these experiences can shape the kinds of skills and talents that students gravitate to and build during college.

Chapter 6 addresses race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, and other aspects of diversity that shape individual students’ expectations and experiences of college life. Some students find the university to have greater diversity than their past experiences, while others come from more diverse settings than the university. Many students struggle for the first time to understand how they fit in and how to make sense of others’ attitudes, values, and perspectives. Students reflect on experiences with inclusion and exclusion during college and come to contextualize these experiences. Readers learn how to harness their identities as a personal strength, while also finding others who are similar enough to understand and support their perspective, values, or interests.
