In the early 1970s, with the availability of individual student data empirical research on higher education demand shifted to analyses of the individual's decision over whether and where to attend college. In these empirical studies we estimate wheter an individual goes to college or gets a job. At the same time, preference, price, income are chosen variables to determine college-going behavior.
The aim of this paper is to investigate an individual's college-going behavior in high school using these three variables. The data showing students' attributes were collected from students, who graduated from Kim-hae High School in 1990 and 1991. IQ, parents' education and occupation, marks were selected from their personal records. A survey Questionaire was used to the sample of 437 students attending now in Kim-hae High School and their parents. The questionaire was produced to know the influences of income and price when going to college. The questionaire returned were statistically treated to obtain answers to the question stated for this study.
