Undergraduates Enrolled with Higher Sticker Prices

This report investigates the differences between undergraduates who attended postsecondary institutions by the sticker price levels they faced. Student characteristics, reasons for attendance finances, academic differences, student satisfaction, and persistence are among the topics explored. Undergraduates attending institutions with higher sticker prices and those in public research universities with sticker prices below $12,000 were traditional and academically prepared students from families with similar family incomes. However, undergraduates in the two groups had different reasons for selecting the institutions they did.
