Economic Factors Influence College-making Decision

INTRODUCTION Economic Factors Affecting University Decision Making Today economic problems have a serious impact on student thinking due to state budget cuts, federal changes in student loans, unemployment and university donations. Costs, financial assistance, and employment opportunities are the main factors that influence the decisions of all types of college students (Noel-Levitz 4). In many cases, state universities are now becoming too high for many families. Financial aid to private schools that were formerly generous has been reduced, and scholarships have become less or less complete.

Many studies on student decision making use economics and sociological theoretical framework to investigate factors in university choice. These frameworks have been used to develop three theories, conceptual methods to simulate university selection, (a) economic model, (b) state acquisition model, and (c) composite model. First, the economic model focuses on economic metric expectations of rational thinking of future high school students and a careful cost-benefit analysis in selecting university courses or universities. Second, the state acquisition model assumes the actual decision-making process that students go through a process of selecting universities and pointing out various social and personal factors leading to career and educational desires. Third, the composite model combines the rational hypothesis of the economic model and the components of the nation-acquired model.

In many cases, state universities are now becoming too high for many families. - Higher education is thought to be the key to academic success and economic success in society. Accept higher education levels related to high unemployment rate and low income rate, income disparity between two-year university and four-year university. In the absence of financial support, university tuition and tuition for two years is less than half of public 4 years or private 4 year tuition.

Ceteris paribus hypothesis When conducting economic analysis, it may be difficult to distinguish the influence of various factors on decision making and results. For example, whether students go on to university depends on various factors such as income, tuition fee, market value of university degree, etc. The impact of an increase in tuition fees on university entrance may not be immediately apparent as student income and university degree market value may change as tuition fee increases. All other factors that affect the admission decision to the university remain unchanged in order to conduct an appropriate economic analysis on the impact of the soaring tuition fees on college admission rates. Other economically constant assumptions are often quoted in economic analysis, Latin "all other conditions remain the same". The phrase "Other conditions have not been changed" indicates the assumption that only one factor has been tested
