College Environmental Influences on Students' Educational Aspirations.

Pascarella, Ernest T.

Journal of Higher Education, v55 n6 p751-71 Nov-Dec 1984

Several environmental factors had modest but significant effects on aspirations; however, the magnitude of the effects differed somewhat by gender and institutional selectivity. (Author/MLW)
