New qualitative study of 36 UK uni students suggests SES differences in the way they construe belonging at university:

“Students with low SES referred to belonging as a feeling they had similar experiences with other students….In contrast, high SES students reported that belonging was focus on being authentic.”

Polite exclusion in the classroom:

New participant observation study at a Swedish high school finds “a clear discrepancy between the school staff ’s description and the students’ description of the same classroom environment. No staff members mention the segregation or social exclusion [of minority students].”

Longitudinal study (N = 829) finds first-generation university students conceal their social background more than continuing-generation students in order to fit in at university, but their identity concealment results in poorer well-being.

New study of student parents at college:

"Since having my daughter, I feel more motivated and driven to achieve my goals, not only to better my life but hers as well. Whenever I come face to face with an issue and I feel as if I can’t overcome it, I just say to myself, ‘this is for her’. Just saying those four words pushes me to do what I must do."
