Parents and the College Choice Decisions of Community College Students.
Smith, Kerry; Bers, Trudy H.
College and University, v64 n4 p335-48 Sum 1989
A study investigated the extent of parental involvement in the decisions of two-year students, the kinds of information about colleges they use, and the activities in which they engage. Results show parents were involved in information-gathering but were not necessarily decision-initiators or decision-makers. Marketing implications are discussed. (MSE)
