This study reviewed the college decision of non-first generation Latinx students from the Rio Grande Valley border region. While there is a vast amount of literature on first generation students, there is a gap in literature for non-first generation students overall, with a larger gap for those non-first generation students that may be Latinx from the Rio Grande Valley. With many Latinx students utilizing the theoretical frameworks of "familismo" and community cultural wealth in their college decision process, this study will utilize the same frameworks to determine if non-first generation Latinx students from this region utilize these frameworks as well. Ten students were interviewed to discuss their college decision process along with the various factors and influencers that were significant in their final college decision. Results of this study found that these students did utilize aspects of "familismo" and community cultural wealth while citing various factors such as college visits, parent support and diversity in their final decision. The results of this study will serve to assist non-first generation Latinx students from the Rio Grande Valley with their final college decision, while also informing admissions and recruitment offices with better assisting these students.
