When making decisions on educational institutes to attend, Gen Z students ranked college career centers as their preferred choice of guidance: First-generation college students showed a higher preference for external organizations and family and friends in contrast to their continuing-generation peers. Low-income students favored self-search compared with the students from other income groups.",

      "text": "The majority of students surveyed see a four-year degree as having a higher ROI compared with a community college degree, regardless of the degree program they are currently enrolled in. The majority of community college students surveyed report being likely or extremely likely to transfer, even though only 30% of community college students actually do. Though both first-generation college and continuing-generation students were more likely to consider a bachelor’s degree program than an associate’s program, first-generation college students were enrolled in associate’s programs at much higher rates. When weighing the advantages of attending community colleges versus four-year institutions, both first-generation college and continuing-generation students share similar viewpoints with subtle differences: First-generation college students view the supportive learning environment as the advantageous benefit. Continuing-generation students view career training as more beneficial.",
