Bruwer, Johan de W.
South African Journal of Higher Education, v10 n2 p120-29 1996

Results show demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of applicants and enrollees differ, applicants consider multiple institutions, alumni and friends are the most important information sources, and students consider schools before their high school senior year.
