A steadily increasing number of first-generation students are attending colleges and universities. In addition to facing many of the same issues as their peers, they must also overcome unique challenges that might prevent them from thriving in college. According to Laurie Schreiner (2010), a thriving college student is someone who is fully engaged intellectually, socially, emotionally in the whole college experience. This mixed methods explanatory sequential study sought to understand the experiences of thriving first-generation community college students and answer the research question, what do first-generation community college students report on what makes them thrive? Quantitative data were collected via the Thriving Quotient survey (N = 242), which served to identify thriving students. Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews of 10 thriving students. Data analysis revealed that a very high level of academic determination, strong sense of belonging to their community, and an expectation of positive outcomes were shown to be present in these thriving students, despite facing additional obstacles as first-generation students, and attempting to learn virtually during a pandemic. Positive relationships with faculty and a strong familial support system were frequently cited as major factors for their success, while lack of guidance and direction at the college level was their greatest and most frustrating challenge, especially surrounding the process of applying for financial aid. The implications of the findings are presented along with recommendations for practice, decision-making, and future research.
