Abstract

The article presents an in-depth discussion of the role of family in the experiences of Latino college students in the United States. The author begins by describing his own experience going through college as a Hispanic American, citing the challenges he faced and the amount of sacrifice given to his endeavor by his family. Commentary is then given describing how colleges need to recognize and support Latino families in general if they wish to improve their enrollment statistics. Profiles are then offered for several colleges which have exemplary programs, including the University of Texas at El Paso and Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California.
