What Factors Influence
Where a Student Chooses
to Attend College?

                   Lisa Scheese
               November 1, 2011
   College access means a student has enough
    information to make an informed college
    decision.

   College choice theories are based on the
    assumption of equitable access.
                                                     (Bergerson 2009)


   However, research indicates a stratification of
    higher education.
                                       (Radford, Tasoff, & Weko 2009).
   Hossler and Gallagher (1987)
     Predisposition
     Search
     Choice
   Paulsen (1990)
     Sociological
     Psychological
     Economic
   Perna (2006)
       Individual Habitus
       School and Community Context
       Higher Education Context
       Social, Economic and Policy Context
   Tierney and Venegas’s Cultural Framework (2009)
       Educational
       Familial
       Community
       Out of Class Environments
 Four   Main Areas of Influence
  Amenities
  Location
  Core Competencies
  Relationships
   Extreme Dorms (Steinberg & Brodie 2011)
   Recreational Facilities
   Campus Dining Options
 Median Distance of College Selection = 94 miles

 Nationally 72% stay in their home state

 86% attend college in their home region

                      In Missouri, 73% stay in-state

        Columbia


                                          (Mattern and Wyatt 2009).
   What is a core competency?
     Areas in which the institution excels or offers
      expertise better than the competition.


                         Program


                        Department


                         Institution
   Anyone the student comes in contact with
    that influences him or her to make a choice.
 1) Focus on your strengths.

 2) People are often your best strength.

 3) Relationships influence college choice.
