Everyone wants to climb the social ladder, but no one wants to look back down. This Calafia episode delves into the experiences of low-income college students at prestigious universities, exploring how upward social mobility poses unique financial, social, and emotional challenges to those fortunate enough to obtain it. By assessing interviews from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and reviewing current public policy, Sasha Velasquez urges the acknowledgement and support of need-based resources and institutions.
