The current study explored the relationships within a higher education institution between school sense of community among first‐generation U.S. citizen students and first‐generation college students compared to students of non‐first generation studentship and citizenship ( N = 3,025; M age = 27.21), and of varied racial backgrounds. Students at a large, urban, and faith‐based university completed a measure of belongingness on campus. In terms of generational status, results found a significant interaction such that students who were both first‐generation U.S. citizen students and first‐generation college students reported the highest school sense of community. However, the combined first‐generation U.S. citizen students and non‐first‐generation college student group reported the lowest scores. Despite these significant findings, sense of community scores were very similar with few differences between groups, which is further discussed in the discussion and limitation sections. Significant racial differences were not found. Implications for community psychology and higher education policy are discussed
