I was first in family to go to uni. Parents at the time clueless but supportive both emotionally and financially. Grandparents were dead against it. My Nan thought I should get a job in the local supermarket, not move away to go to uni. My main driver was not wanting to be like my mum who didn't work and always had to ask dad for money. I wanted to get a good job where I was financially independent.
