Description
Summary:This study of approximately 6,500 Catholic college women in 45 institutions randomly selected throughout the United States attempts to discover those factors related to their choice of a specific type of college. The major finding is that high school graduates who go on to college choose a Catholic institution if their previous education was Catholic and a nonsectarian institution if it was not. Religiousness of the parents and the extent to which they were educated in Catholic schools appear also as important factors.
