本文利用一个全面的纵向数据集，其中包含一个人口普查的每一个公立高中学生在佛罗里达描述两到四年的大学转移模式。我们的主要发现是社区学院转学生对距离的敏感程度：相对于最近的高中毕业生，社区学院转学生选择远离四年制学校的可能性要小得多。此外，那些就读于远离任何四年制大学的两年制大学的学生转学的可能性更小。这种敏感性很重要，因为对于许多社区大学转学生来说，最近的四年制大学的特点是教学支出和毕业率低。
This paper utilizes a comprehensive longitudinal dataset containing a census of every public high school student in Florida to describe twoto four-year college transfer patterns. Our main finding is the significant degree to which community college transfer students are sensitive to distance: relative to recent high school graduates, community college transfer students are considerably less likely to choose a four-year institution located far away. In addition, students who attend a two-year college located far from any four-year institutions are less likely to transfer at all. This sensitivity is important given that for many community college transfer students, the nearest four-year institution is characterized by low instructional expenditures and graduation rates.
