Popis: | This ethnographic case study examined how 16 Latinx community college students experienced the transition to a selective 4-year public research-intensive university. Participants encountered challenges with social isolation, adapting to a fast-paced quarter system and to large course sizes, limited access to information on resources, restricted access to majors, and maintaining healthy lifestyles while attending to academic achievement. Participants benefited from involvement with student organizations, family, and professors, and accessing selected university resources for transfer students. |
