註釋More than at any other time, enrolling in postsecondary education is a crucial pathway to finding employment that provides a living wage. While postsecondary education is related to better life outcomes, enrollment in postsecondary education is not uniform. Rural youths are less likely to enroll in college than non-rural youths, and when they do enroll in college, they choose less selective colleges (Hu, 2003; Koricich, 2014). Rigorous research that seeks to understand the differences in the predictors of enrollment in postsecondary education by rurality is a necessary step in improving the educational outcomes of rural residents. A better understanding of the effect that rurality has on postsecondary enrollment is needed to improve college access programming and policy. It is within this context that, using Perna's conceptual model of student college choice and employing multilevel modeling, this study examined how rurality and attachment to place are related to postsecondary enrollment while taking both student- and high school-level variables into account.
